Yes, even if you did not use condom and the lady was HIV + you maybe did not be infected. But never play this game. Always use condoms.

Relaxe and leave it behind you

is that so that not all exposed encounters will lead to the transmission virus?

First of all, calm down.

For an adult, like you, HIV is transmitted only through:

Unprotected vaginal/anal sex
Sharing drugs needles

So if the condom covered the head of your penis, you did not catch HIV.

There is a kind of prophylaxis called PEP which has to be administrated untill 72 h after an exposure. But you did not have an exposure and the doctor will not prescribe PEP for you.

Really, it's impossible to you be infected in the way you told.

You had no exposure.

Even if you had the simptoms do'nt show up so early.

Forget it and move on
