Hiv Risk evaluation

[Foxmulder67]

Hello

I used to go with csw in various clubs one a months and this has been so for many years now.
In 2010 i had a condom broke and was under Pep (vaginal course with thai sex worker) and i followed the guidelines received by hiv specialist. Everyhtihing was negativ after that  sad episode.

I am still going to clubs with girls ( do not make usage of drugs nor do i do any anal things). I always make use of condoms but now i that freaking feeling of the what is there a little hole, a breach i haven't been aware of....
I'm now convinced I may have catch something, plus I had a very bad flue, bronchitis but no rash last winter, with high Fever.

Anyways, I decided, to run some rapid hiv test. The one I used had a wrong notice in the box, it said to add 2 drops of buffer solution when the producer claims one should add 4 drops. Brand is sd bioline poct.

Rapidly the C line appeared but far at the left of the enclosure, not aligned with the C written on the box. Does it mean it is invalid? Imagine the stess of such stupid situation! I should have read directly on the web site! I read that on some test any lines appearing outside the control area is invalid, ok but how to define that control area? Again this situation is not described in the manual but i read that on other brands. Usually, no c line at all or just at test or blank.

1. Do you think i'm at risk with my use of csw every month? I used condoms but what if? I had a condom broke experience and know how dangerous it could be

2. 2 drops of buffers solution only when 4 were asked, does it make a difference?

3. Is my test invalid as my c line appears at the far left of the enclosure or is it just the band not clearly aligned with the tags?

Feel lost and steess, any help, advice would be grealty appreciated!
Thank you

Right

yeah you are right I will do the tests.

but for you I did not take any risks as long as my condoms did not break right? so in this case you will not feel the need to do the test except for peace of mind right ?

At this point go see a Dr and test, think that will be the only thing to ease your mind.

Can add more details to my earlier question?

Now I'm scared to death that maybe  I would have experienced some condom break or slippage, even I'm quite sure  it did not happen. this is the question about "what if" that nurrish my anxiety. I always had my condomn on me when finished with the sex but did not check everytime if it was 100% intact...Most people tell me stop worrying "if you had condom you were 100% safe and when it breaks it is f..ing obvious", what is your opinion ?

In Februray 15 I had a terrible flu (but no rash or swollen glands) just heavy bronchitis , headaches, and very high fever. My last exposure, this time with a brazilian girl (again with condom but did not check if ok after finished)  was 3 month ago in ocotober 14. could that be ars symptoms, 3 months after?  

I have to add my regular girl friend experienced  exactly the same flue like me. could that be possible I contaminated her earlier and that my symptoms of ars came out lately?

Thanks Vance2335

I recall when i had that condom break it was  broken not on the top but all along on the sideg, clearly visible. Since that happened i used to check during sex if everything is right but let me tell you this not very relaxing

1. No risk, as if condoms get holes they break wide open.
2. If it is different from directions on box then yes
3. I can't say as it sounds like test was done incorrectly.
