Condom broke

I was having sex with a woman that I had just met and during sex the condom broke.  I did not realize it until about 15 seconds after the condom broke.  The woman was dry down there which is why I think the condom broke.

Two days later I had what seemed to be lymph node inflamation in my armpit and now I am afraid I might have HIV.

Is this possible?

you can test 6-8 weeks post exposure for a good indication of your status...at this point it is unlikely your result will change.  follow up at 3 months for a conclusive result.

hiv symptoms dont appear that quickly.
100's of common viruses can be spread by sex. but no one ever associates that.
by sex i mean, close contact, kissing. could have just got the flu.

i got a stomach flu from a fling i had. i was sure it was hiv.

test 90 days post exposure.

good luck man
