I am worried, please help.
I used a condom which was kept in my wallet for months. I am not sure about the expiry date. But I can confirm that the condom did not break and I was paranoid enough to keep the used condom to test it by adding water to it (i see no visible leakage or obvious tears).
I am straight and I only had vaginal sex.
May I know am I at risk?
Thanks

As long as the condom remains intact, risk does not exist, regardless of the ageing of the protection.

Diver I used a condom provided by sex worker and ever since exposure I’ve had headaches follow by dizziness for 3 months already could I have been infected?
It is better to initiate a separate thread for a different question. If your condom was provided by the sex worker, why do you worry about its quality ? Life of a sex worker is equally precious and without knowing your own health status, she was exposing herself to you, so who would she take a chance?
Your symptoms do not relate to HIV. No test needed, your sex was protected and protection means protection.
