Worried about HIV infection

I have had a couple of seXual encounters with  seX workers in India. It was my first time and dint know how to use a condom. I have used condom  both the times but i was drunk and dont know whether i have used them properly or not  . After this happened i developed scalp psoriasis after 6 months. Now after 4 years i have been diagnosed with Bells Palsy. Apart from these i have had cold frequently in the last one year. I didnt have a single attack of diarrhoea for the past many years. Do you think i have been infected with HIV? I am 23 now and i am worried because none of the people in my age group have  been diagnosed with rare problems like psoriasis or Bells Palsy

Had the condom failed you would have known without a doubt. You don't need testing.

PROTECTED SEX = NO RISK,

If you are not sure about the past protection status, get yourself tested! All the best for it. And dont mix symptoms with HIV infection. Its Your anxious mind along with some sort of guiltiness make you feel so. So realize that thing with your reasoning mind and move on. HIV is a very difficult to transmit virus and it is more likely to be a NO RISK case. Contact experts like teak, diver for gr8r soltns
