Hello, I am 19 years old and have a huge problem with me. Not more than 2 months ago i had completely protected sex with a prostitute in Barcelona. The problem is that it was a stupid decision and I was not completely sober. About two or three minutes into sexual intercourse the condom broke, the prostitute is the one that noticed and insisted I pull out my penis about 1 to 1 and a half minutes later, the condom breaking was due to the fact that she was a prostitute and to put it in most obvious terms, very dry, so she did not have a lot of vagina fluid. I stupidly insisted we go on, but she simply asked me if I had another condom, and my response was no so she left. Now, I talked to my mother who is a nurse, and friends of my parents who gave me a home to sleep in during my stay in Barcelona and most of them told me it was very improbable, that in fact prostitution is slightly more controlled in europe than in the americas, also that if the prostitute had insisted we stop she was probably protecting herself. Now I do not have any symptoms of HIV although I have gotten a few small headaches and two terrible hangovers, aside from that, the only thing freaking me out are these very tiny and very few small acne like bumps on my chest. Should I be afraid of these bumps? what are the exact symptoms of HIV, and how probable is it that I have the virus? I am waiting just one more month to get tested and know for sure, but the doubts are making me suffer incredibly and ruining my daily life, plus I am an extremely paranoid person that thinks simply reading the word AIDS/HIV is a sign i have the virus and cant stop hating myself for the mistake i made, even if breaking condoms are not something i planned. Can anyone help me answer these questions?!?!? I would greatly appreciate some honest answers and advice.

thank you

Incorrectly use of a condom is your fault. Rashes that look like acne has nothing to do with HIV. You were protected until the condom failed. The chances you contracted HIV is slim but the only way to know is by testing.
