hiv symptoms

ok about a lil over a year ago i had protected sex with a girl twice, one of the times the condom slipped off but i noticed right away so i stopped.  About the next day or two i noticed two hard lumps next to each other right by my scrotum an thigh area which I assume where swollen lymph nodes, along with painless red bumps that sometimes look like pimples an have yellow centers. They didnt itch or anything and the two lumps where gone within a couple of days, the red bumps come here an there but its never more than a couple an theyre always spaced out and the only time it itches is after i shave an the hair starts to grow back.  I also noticed consistent diarrhea usually like every other day or two days an never more than once a day but i didnt think much of it because i eat fast food all day everyday. lastly i noticed my tongue was kinda white, not at all patchy jus kinda evenly on the whole thing but i drink heavily each weekend an smoke and i dont know how long ive had that, i didnt put any of this together until i started reading early hiv symptoms and now im totally freaking out i also tested positive for hsv-1 but that was it..to me these seem like sure signs of hiv but i jus wanted another opinion even if jus to temporarily make myself feel a little better until i get tested

Then you had no risk at all. the head of your penis was covered and that is totally NO RISK. The lumps, painless red bumps, diarrhea and etc.. are not HIV related symptoms.

as far as i know i withdrew as soon as i noticed as i kept checking every once in awhile, you could still see the end of the condom slightly hanging out of her vagina. It would of been all the way in if i had kept going right?

you have had no risk and should not be worrying about hiv..condom slip happens while withdrawing and possess no risk as your head of penis was covered
