Well iam here because something pretty bad happen. i had sex with a street prostitute and drug user, the condom broke but we both realise it and i pull out right away. i was in her for not more then 3 second.
3 weeks after I had sore troath for one day then the next day I was disisness, stuffed and runny nose and headack and also cough I was very tired also. No fever and rash ,but the sore troath was gone .

-am I at risk due to the very brief moment.  3 second.
-is my symptoms sound like HIV acute?

Runny nose is a symptom of a cold not the flu and it is not consistent with ars. If you had a fever you will know.

Symptoms mean nothing.
Antibody test at 6 weeks will be a good indication. And if you really did have ARS then a test about a week after that should give you a good result also.

Sorry buddy, only choice is to wait the window period of 3 months. How about pcr rna? It is expensive but surely can buy you peace of mind and make you less anxious. I took a flight for my test. Share your location if possible.

I can understand what you must be going through.  Unfortunately,  testing is the only means to rule out hiv. As per freedomhealth clinic in uk, 28days hiv duo is fully conclusive. This should be a good time to go for it and feel assured. You can repeat after 6 to 8 weeks.
