HELP! Worried about my exposure 6 months ago.

I had sex with a masseuse (high risk sexual activity) with condom about 6 months ago in the end of January. Yes, I did witness my sperm was inside the condom after I pulled out which indicated that the condom didn't break. I wasn't really worried until 4 weeks later, I had a very bad sore throat and very high fever that I hadn't been experienced in a very long time. The fever and sore throat were gone once I took antibiotics however, it re-appeared briefly exactly a week later that was also gone after I took the antibiotics again.

So what does it mean or what do you think about this?

If the fever and sore throat gone once I took antibiotics, does it guarantee that they weren't HIV-related symptoms?

I always wanted to take a blood test. But I really wouldn't like to waste money and I am so scared of the results.

Again, protected sex is not a risk for infection and no one will tell you otherwise.

That means it was a bacterial infection

Yeah I am certain that the condom didn't break. But I don't know if she had any cut or I lost erection. It's just that I experienced a really bad sore throat and fever exactly 4 weeks after the exposure. But it's gone after I took the antibiotics. I don't know what it meant.

Wouldn't an invisible hole not be a hole at all?

You don't miss a condom break. And you said you even checked it after the sex? There's no need to be smart towards me....

Well you didn't really see me having sex did you? So we don't know for sure, who knows if she had some cut inside his vagina? Who knows if the condom had an unvisible hole?
