HIV Risk and My symptoms
Hi there, about 3 weeks ago I had sex with a legal sex worker. I received as far as I am aware protected oral sex using a condom and protected vaginal sex, she was on top followed by me getting on top. At one point I did get slightly soft but the condom never came off. She finished me off by giving me a handjob, however the condom ripped and she continued to masturbate me until I ejaculated. Is it possible the I have been infected, especially because the condom ripped during the handjob, and vaginal fluids may have been present on the condom.
I have been experiencing muscle pain particularly in my calves muscles of my legs and some joint pain in my ankles and wrists and fingers. I also get headaches and diarrhoea.

Because the condom was intact during insertive sex. Nothing else you did you put you at risk...even if her genital secretions got on you.
NO risk.
NO risk.
Why was it no risk Teak? Because if the condoms on thats all that matters? I would really appreciate a reply, sorry if I am being annoying.?
One last question... When I was having sex I got a bit soft, I was in the missionary position at the time, i don't know why maybe nerves or something. But would it be possible for vaginal fluids to enter the condom then and infect me, I am sure that the condom never came off though, does this pose risk?

No. STI's have nothing to do with your discomforts. However, obsession certainly does. You must have heard they say 'You become what you imagine'. Mind is very powerful, it can do a lot of stuff to your body, you'd be surprised. Every thing you describe as HIV symptom seems more like symptoms associated with anxiety. Just my 2 cents.
Can you help to make sense of my headaches i've been having for the last week, and the muscle pains particularly in my calves and occasional joint pains, I also feel like I have a sore throat coming on. Could it be another STI?
Has there ever been a case when someone has gotten HIV from masturbation and when vaginal fluids were outside and entered the urethra?
Why do you think I am experiencing joint and muscle pains? Is it an initial symptom of HIV infection?
Could it be anxiety or stress?
