My Risk

I had a sex encounter with a sex worker 12 months back.I used a condom for theh same  I did not see if the condom broke at the end of the encounter but had a little jerk pain during the encounter which i had ignored when the girl sat on top of me at the start. I had forgotten the epsiode as i had no symptoms.

Now the following things are driving me crazy after I had unproteted sex with my wife 9 months back

1) my wife developed a bout of classic triad fever, sore throat and rash 6 months back. The rash appeared on the 3rd day of fever and lasted 2 days. She also had muscle and jont pains for the last 6 months. Now almost after a year she has started getting tingling pains in here hands , legs and body. Are the symptoms due to HIV ?

3) Did the condom breaK and I got the disease.

4) How easy it is to know a condom breakage

5) Have I Contarcated HIV and transmitted to het

Please advise as this is the only encounter I had outside marriage and very scared

I took an Elisa test this month and it came back negative. Can I conclusively NOT LINK my wife's symptom ( neural pain now and fever in the past ) to my exposure and treat them as completely separate

It's really hard to miss a condom break. If you are concerned, take a test.
