dry surface (hand), blood stream, joint pain

[mm44]

I'm a 28 years old boy. I had a protected (with a condom) sex with a sexworker. as it was finished and I was taking off the condom I touched the outer side of the condom (which was in contact with vagina). 1hr later when I was washing my hand I put some water on my mouth with my hand and I had bloody gum that time. can I get hive with this? Please help me!!
Wanted to know that what amount of HIV virus can infect someone when it enters to the blood stream (or even some molecules are enough to infect!!!??)
3weekes later, I felt swelling of lymph nodes in my neck (not so obvious). Some days later on I feel joint pain at my knee. And then I got cold (flue). I have to mention that as I went out after taking a shower I got flue and sore throat and maybe the flue is because of this!
I’m so anxious about getting HIV?

from what you have described above...NOTHING you did put you at risk for hiv.

IF indeed you read that hiv can survive for 1 week outside it's host...then you read total BS!!!!!

you fear is NOT based on fact...and the FACT of the matter is...hiv is transmitted through unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse...sharing iv drug works...mother to child.

but, I have seen at websites that HIV virus can survive areound 1 week out of the body at dry surface! so it could be alive at my hand that time!!

can it be transmited from my hand to my blood stream? (put water with hnd to the bloody gum)???!!!!!!!!!!

You just asked the same exact questions that I already answered.  Re-read my answer.  You had not risk.  MOVE ON.

Thank you for your answer,
As I have mentioned I had touched the outer side of the condom when I was taking it off.
My anxiety is for transmission of HIV from my hand to my blood stream because when I was washing my hand (after 1hr) I put some water to my mouth to wash my mouth as well but I found that I had bloody gum that time; can HIV be transmitted from my hand to my bloodstream and can it be enough to infect!!!

Read what you wrote.  You had protected vaginal intercourse.  You did not have a risk. Sexually speaking, unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse is how HIV is transmitted.  Nothing else you posted poses a risk for HIV.  Your symptoms are meaningless and not specific to HIV.
