Urethritis - HIV concern

Hi,
  Does Urethritis infection after exposure indicate that the condom didnot work.I've seen in several sites quoting unptotected intercourse as the reason of urethritis.I used condom but after i was diagnised with Urethritis I'm worried that condom was not used propely or broke.
I had the following symptoms after exposure.
1)After 2 weeks of exposure > Rash on palms , spread to the entire palm and skin on finger tip got hard/scaly and peeled off.
2)4 weeks post exposre , I had pain/burning sensation while urinating , was diagnised with urethritis and was treated with Doxycycline.
3.)5 weeks post exposure had mild rash on penis.

I'm really worried that condom didnot work.

Thanks

Nothing to do with Hiv.Your sex was protected.Also,that 4 week DUO is proof that you don't have Hiv.Have a great day.

Hi getitright77,
  Thanks for the assurance.Is the DUO test at 4 weeks mark  a conclusive one ?.or should I wait for the 3 months mark ?I'm only worried because of the symptoms coming one after the other.
Thanks.

The fact that you had no risk coupled with your negative Duo,it's time to call it a day and forget about Hiv because you don't have it.You're safe.

Hi,
  In most of the sites , the cause of Uethiritis is given as unprotected sex.Does that mean that the condom didnot work properly. ?I used a condom but still was diagnised with Urethritis.Does this put Me in a risk of acquirirng HIV as well ?

Thanks
