Possible exposure very scared
Here's my story
I'm not gay but I decided to try it once I met a guy for a one night stand and we had unprotected oral and protected anal where I was the bottom. I used Trojan ectasy condoms and ky jelly but I noticed when he pulled out the condom stayed in. He told me before we started he was disease free.
My syptoms which I know aren't reliable indicators are after 2 weeks white bumps in throat not soar went to doctor said it was strep started antibiotics bumps never went away then I saw another doctor and she said the I have cryptic tonsils and everything looks normal. I was also having loss of appetite but i think it was due to anxiety. I have never had a fever I know because I have been monitoring my temperature very closely. Week 4 got what seemed like a swollen node under my ear behind my jaw and under my jaw. I started feeling everywhere in my body seemingly finding swollen lymph nodes in one armpit and right side of groin. I took a home access test which came back negative. Week 9 I went to the health department where the nurse said he did not feel any swollen lymph nodes and I was tested for all STD's except herpes. I'm still awaiting the results and am stricken with anxiety. My questions are
1.The condom I used was thin but well lubricated what are the chances it broke or slipped off?
2.Is a home access test at 4 weeks reassuring?
3.should I be worried that when he pulled out the condom stayed in and he didn't use it and ejaculated inside?
4. Am I totally overreacting?
Please I know my post is long but I'm very scared I'm only 19 and really don't want this one night stand in which I took all precautions to ruin my life and need some kind of supportive information.

Just wanted to let you know my result was negative and I think I can finally move on
Thanks for answering I'm just so scared but that help put my mind at ease a little
1...you stated the condom stayed in
2. any negative test is "reassuring"
3...sounds like it came off during withdrawal and you were protected.
4...protected sex = protected sex
