I had sex with a csw about 22 days back. I had used a condom. I have been very tensed and afraid about contracting HIV. Every day I am searcing for symptoms on my body... I read that symptoms if they occur happen between 2-4 weeks.

Today is the 21 day, I have mild cold (slight runny nose) and I sneez sometimes. is this a symptom of HIV. I dont have any fever as of now..

Could you please help me.. Very scared

Thank you so much teak.. its a relief..  also I'll just let you know the events of that day.. I remember when I removed my penis after the interourse, it was still erect.. I remember I saw the condom on my upper part of the penis.. also I could easily roll it down.. and some semen was still on my penis..

Does this clearly say that my condom was intact.. coz I never checked the condom.. and dont know how is it when a condom breaks.. would I know it has broken when I am rolling the condom down??.. could you please help me.. so that I can be sure ... please..

You do not have HIV, as you were never exposed to it because you had safe sex. Slight runny nose is a symptom of cold. Move on.
