Hiv symptoms

hello im new to this forum so please take it easy on me. basically i wanted information on hiv symptoms. this is my story, i went on a lads holiday over a month ago, now on this holiday i had a sexual encounter with a girl of uknown status, i took necessary precautions wore a condom etc the part thats worrying me is during sex everything was fine until at the end noticed the condom had split , from what i can remember during the encounter it was fine apart from maybe the last 10 minutes of having sex thats where i think it would have split.. now for the past 3 weeks ive had swollen glands under my armpit , under my neck, noticebly the left side was hard and tender for about 2 weeks then it dissapeared howerver one on right side off  neck is still there , my facial spots increased but i dont know if thats because of shaving because i do sometimes get spots from shaving, for 2 days i had night sweats and also had diarhea (diarrhea) maybe two or 3 times a day....at present ive still got what i beleive to b swollen lymph nodes under my armpits, i know i shouldnt do this but the one under my right armpit is starting to hurt a little from the constant poking to check if its still there all other symptoms i.e diarhea (diarrhea), night sweats(which lasted couple of days) have gone, facial spots still present but are not as bad as before. im looking to get tested next week but wanted your thoughts on my matter as anxiety is becoming a huge problem. i appreciate any input :)

hi,

sorry about your exposure. you had condom failure and you need to get tested. it seems as though it's already been 6 weeks post exposure, so get tested now for an excellent indication and agian 3 months post exposure for a 100% conclusive result. don't worry too much. the odds are in your favour. however you do need to test just to be on the safe side. tak care.
