RISK?

Hi Doc, A couple months back i had a sexual intercourse with a CWS in Mexico. The condom was extremely loose, was about to fall off when i pulled out afterward i never checked for any holes on the condom im also not circumcised.  Last month i was showing cold and flu symptoms and acquired an ear infection  but my temperature was never really high. My doctor prescribed 500mg of amoxicillin for the ear infection. Last week i did a STD panel test except for HIV which all came back negative. Should I be worried?

Why didn't you get the HIV test? 6-12 weeks after exposure get a test.
