Broken Condom

Hello, on April 1, when I was having a sex, the condom broke at the end, I did ejaculate inside her. Later I realized the condom was broken. I don't know the HIV status of the partner, I was never able to find her after that. I am really scared, what are the chances of me getting HIV. I think I have most of the symptoms. Like when I remember about that(HIV), I feel hot on my forehead and neck area. I had sore throat for one night. I had like loose stools for 3 days, fatigue I think I still have. I have no fever, when I am with friends I seem alright. I took a blood test after 18 days, it came negative(Antibody test). I took the test again after 23 days I came back negative(result was given after 10-15mins) I don't know the test name, but the doctor said, he tested it three times for all possible disease(like lever and Kindney) . But I started having all these symptoms right from the week 1. Now I am into 4th week, now I feel allright. Also this was the first time I had sex in my life. Do I need to be worried?

You would need to test at 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result.

Your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV. Based on timing and symptoms themselves are not symptoms one might get with HIV.
