Please Help Me-HIV Risk

I have read so much conflicting information from different doctors on these sites.  A few weeks ago, I had protected insertive anal sex.  The condom was used the whole time and did not fail.  Many of the doctors say this is low risk, but sometimes people do get infected this way.  I just had some type of virus that lasted for 24 hours - stomach ache, diarrhea, low grade fever, and body aches.  I was worried this could be early HIV symptoms.  I thought I was careful, but could I really have HIV?

PROTECTED sex = NO risk.

Test to ease your mind, but condoms work when used correctly and do not fail. You were not at risk.
