Testing time

Testing time

About 6 weeks ago, I had a protected sex with a massage girl in Asia, the condom did not break and I did not ***.  She then took off the condom and gave me a handjob instead. I had an abraision on my penis after the handjob that stinged with soap and itched, it recovered in 2 days.  I'm afraid she might have vaginal fluid on her hand when she gave me the handjob.   Five days later, I had a brief episode of sore throat and running nose, cold-like stuffs.   But recently I had backache and several isolated diarrhea, and I'm totally freaked out, I don't know if these are HIV symptom or nervous diarrhea.  I'm thinking about taking the rapid oral HIV test at 6 weeks.  Would anyone know how much confidence would a 6-week test assert?   Any suggestion?  Was I in a  high risk situation?

Thanks for the responses!  If her hand has vaginal fluid while taking my condom off or  while applying lubricant on herself, would that increase my risk through the abrasion she caused during the handjob?  She did use a lot of massage oil on my penis. Any other opinion, Teak?

If she put massage oil on your condom that was not waterbased, this could be a problem regarding the integrity of the condom. Still a low risk of infection, just don't let this occur again though.

Unless the condom failed and you said it did not. You were never at risk. Her taking off the condom and her applying lube to herself never put you at risk.

Teak, i was just trying to make him aware of oil based lubricants effect on condoms. I was not stating that her applying this lubricant to his penis was an hiv risk, lol...

Thanks for the info!  She did use massage oil as lubricant and I ignorantly did not stop her, but the condom did not seem to break.  This was the only time I had sex outside my 14 years marriage.  Does this still warrant a test?
