Do I have HIV?
Over the past two years I have had sex with 26 street walking prostitute's in Mexico, US and UK, 20 of these were male. All encounters I used a condom and as far as I'm aware the condom did not break.
I have read that the condom has around a 98% protection rate against HIV, what is the 2%? Is this when the condom actually fails and splits? Would I know if a condom had failed during anal intercourse?
I have become very unwell lately which is why i'm asking this.

No I've never had a HIV test, I've had STD tests. Do I need a HIV test even if I've used condoms at all times?
Have you ever had an HIV test? Since you are so sexually active with multiple partners you should at least be tested annually for HIV and STDs.
