Why can't you tell me?

I've been waiting direly for someone to ***** my risk since I'm not an expert and not only do I get Captain Obvious kind of responses that I should require testing only for the peace of my mind but now I'm getting my post deleted? Why is everyone here so ignorant? Tell all of you what: I can't get a test for the peace of my mind because I don't even currently know if my risk is real or not. I've seen hundreds of people on this forum obsessing over silly risks while MY RISK is more of a risk than anything else SO why don't you help me?

Final question after which I close this thread: Can I take your word and have sex with my girlfriend without taking a test because there's absolutely no chance I have HIV?

can i safely have unprotected sex with my girlfriend who i know for a long time, then? :\ i mean, another reason why I may be stressing out is because I'm in a long-term relationship and before that, I used to visit escorts ( and I think it could be a bit of guilt in this).. i only want to move on with my life and close the CSW chapter and leave it behind me.

even if the condom slipped? I read several times on this forum that HIV dies after it leaves the body, is that information accurate?

Symptoms mean nothing. The answers you received will not change

Thanks Vance. But what about my symptoms? I mean, should I still be scared of HIV regardless of the exposure? My condom always remained intact, though I remember once that I may have accidentally put it upside down after it slipped but that is no risk, right?

protected intercourse and unprotected oral with CSW ( 5-6) in a timeline of 4-5 years.. I wouldn't have posted my concerns if I haven't experienced symptoms such as weight loss( dropped from 69-70 kg to 65-66 in months only).. also, I have balanitis and experienced not long ago a chest rash which was widespread :/
