Few questions

When symptoms starts(2-3-4 weeks after the risk sex? Are lymph nodes painful or not? Are they large or small one? Can lymph nodes be the only symptom and where are they located? Only one region or more, on bouth sides of the body?
Thank you

Focusing on symptoms is a waste of time, particularly when it comes to lymph nodes, which can swell for MANY reasons unrelated to HIV.  Symptoms are USELESS when attempting to diagnose HIV, and that's why we don't discuss them.

Did you have a risk for HIV?

Vaginal sex with condom but i didnt check condom at the end. And i want to know more about symptoms because there are so many false information on the internet.
You didn't have a risk for HIV.  Condoms protect you from HIV.  You don't need to check the condom.  If the condom fails, exposing the head of your penis, you will notice as it will be wide open.  Since you were never exposed to HIV, any symptoms you think you are having have NOTHING to do with HIV.

That's the true information, so you can forget about HIV and move on with your life.
