HIV Symptoms protected sex

[AlbertLinares]

Hi, first of all i want to thank you guys for all the help and support that you offer to people, about a month and a half i went out to a strip club and i have sex with a sex worker, it was oral and vaginal properly protected with condom, it didn't break or slipped (as far as i remember), it didn't last too long, oral was like 5 minutes and vaginal like 10 minutes, my problem is that a week later i started to feel really fatigued everyday, had to go to the doctor a couple of times cuz i was really worried, had nausea and feel like vomiting, low grade fever, i've never felt like that before, now the symptoms are clearing up, my doctor thaught it was a heart related disease but all my heart and blood tests came back good, so i started thinking that maybe i messed up that day in the strip club, i know i had protected sex but that day i had a cut not so fresh but still present on my finger, i dont know how i could get infected but there's no other explanation to my symptoms, i'm very scared cuz i've never felt that bad before, is it possible that i got infected through my cut? or maybe the condom slipped a little, how much do i have to wait to take the test, thanks for your attention.

You'll be amazed at how stress and anxiety can cause things to go wrong in the body even when it's on a subconscious level.
I know this because I've been through what you went through, also not believing what people told me and also believing I had ARS symptoms and six months out still got a negative result.
You wore a condom and as long as the head of your penis was covered you will be fine.

It's not HIV, as symptoms don't even match to possible HIV ones and outside the time frame for symptoms.

Thank you for your short but kind answer, i really want to have mind peace thinking about that night because as far as i remember the condom never slipped or broke, i've been scared before with some risks that i've had years ago (all protected) and i know that symptoms can't be an HIV indicator, the thing is that in the last 2 weeks i've been developing the symptoms i described in the first post plus this week i've had chills, low fever is there, muscle tiredness, swollen glands in the neck, under my jaw and behind ears, there's one behind my left ear very visible, i already have an appointment with a doctor to check that out, i want to think that i'm imagining this cause i know how the mind works when you are really worried about things like HIV but the symptoms are there and i just keep wondering what the hell happened that night, if i'm infected... how happened? thanks for your attention.
