Just confirming my conclusions

Hello,

I've been feeling some anxiety the last few days and I'd like to put my thoughts at rest.  I had protected intercourse with three different women over the last six weeks.  I used a condom in all cases but two of them I used a "magnum" size and I'm a regular size guy.  After ejaculation in the condom, the condom was loose when I pulled out but I was covered the whole time.  From what I read, as long as the penis head is covered, no risk.  No vaginal secretions could move down the condom if it's loose and the penile hole is covered.  Would this seem correct?

Secondly, I've had a fever for the last three days (99 to 101) accompanied by swollen glands in my neck only.  These have made my neck sore but I haven't really had a sore throat internally.  I've been able to come to work, not laid up in bed though have had night sweats.

Swollen glands with ARS are generalized, not specific correct?  Fever is usually 101 and over continually for days with ARS correct.  I'm seeing my GP today for what appears to be a cold or flu but just wanted to get your thoughts and confirm my analysis.

Thanks so much

There are also a lot of viral infections that won't be identified.  Whatever you have goinfg on, it isn't HIV.

Thanks Lizzy,

Went to GP, fever was 100.  Tests for strep and flu negative.  Mono test is pending results.  Through blood the doctor determined it was viral related, not bacterial so not on antibiotics, just ibuprofen.

Still expereriencing some anxiety but there was no exposure event.  Any thoughts?  I was just hoping it was the flu.  Doubt it's mono.  He mentioned there are often different strains of flu that don't have specific diagnoses.
