HIV!!

Hey, I've been driving my self crazy recently worrying about HIV, about three months ago I have protected sex but for what ever reason I'm really worrying about it, I did get tested a month after intercourse which came back negative but still can't help worrying, if I'm honest I have had little symptoms. What I have had Is flu, had this when it was going round though so everyone had it from friend, family, co workers, basically everyone!!! I've also had a slight rash that went straight away, the only muscle pain I've had I would really call pain because it was only in my right calf and felt more like it was just tight!!! I also experienced a little bit of weight loss but again I was exercising a lot during that period and have since gained a little back!! I've not had a fever, headaches, night sweats, swallow glands!! I don't know, I am a worrier so maybe just being paranoid!? HELP...thanks :)

Had the condom failed you would know without a doubt. You don't have an HIV concern.

I know the risks are very low with protected sex but not 100%, what if the condom breaks, I don't believe it did but like I said, once I start worrying about something I won't stop until In 100% sure I don't have something!!!
