HIV scare

Hi team,
I had sex in January this year with a masseuse, we used a condom for vaginal sex, as I was done she removed the condom and then I cleaned it off, there was no sign of condom breakage or leakage, later on in February I had mild cold, just runny nose and I was fine in 2 days, as the time progressed after about 7 months in this july I searched for HIV and this out of the blue gave me a scare, I felt that I might have made a mistake and I might be a victim, all day long I only think about this, it scares me I get light fever and light night sweats now, I feel really scared and I have not been able to focus on anything, please assist me on the fact that should I be scared and abould I test for HIV.
Thanks

You say you had a scare but I don't see any scare in your encounter. The only risks for HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV drug needles to inject drugs. You didn't have that so do not have any activity related to an HIV risk. In fact, it is no risk.

Can't help with your anxiety. That you need to talk to your doctor about. My previous answer stands.
Thank you
