hiv risk

Hi ,am a male.
i have had 6 sex partners in my entire life and i have always used protection.
4 months ago i had an unprotected exposure with an unknown status woman.
i was inside her for 4 minutes and then went to get the condom and when i got back she said it was fine without it so i am stupid enough i decided not to wear it.

after day that the next day i had kidney stones and i was taking voltarol for about a month ago when i got pain in my belly cause of them...

after 1 month after the exposure i got a rash in my groin which i think it is a jock itch and lasted 2 days max. no other symptoms.after the 3 months i started to think about this and started to panik reading everything on the internet.. after reading what the symptoms where i thought i had them all swollen lymph nodes and everything , i still do... I have read that the possibility is almost zero.. so i went to test and i am waiting for my results but i am really scared.... any opinions on this ???

thank you for your answer.
I was taking voltarol since i had kidney stones , would that might have prevented the presence of any symptoms?

symptoms happen if one gets them at 2-4 weeks, 3 months is when a conclusive test can be taken

Uh ok I understand.

but still the possibility of 1 time unprotected sex exists , however the risk is quite low correct?

also i wanted to ask what are the chances of late seroconversion?
is there a way taht you can have the early symptoms 1 week and then 1 month passes and you get different ones? or the early stage acts 1 time all together?

Yes, Joggen took a lot of fact and mixed it with some of his opinion and the best estimates that are out there for transmission rates.

It is based on fact, people can get HIV from just one time unprotected exposure.

Hey ,
Thank you for your response.

what would be the probability of this?
I read through this article which helped me understand a little but more.
I am just really anxious about the test.
