Had unprotected sex

So I had sex about a week ago with a woman where we used a condom but it broke. It was both, vaginal and anal intercourse... after that she left and I was left freaking out because I'm afraid I caught something.

I am so freaked out about this kind of thing and I have been looking up things that could be going on. I suffer from anxiety but I'm getting these very itchy bumps in random spots on my body. They aren't like spread evenly, it's almost like a mosquito bite with the swelling... they itch a lot. I was on multiple sites for symptoms and some said that HIV causes itchy rashes but some other sites said that HIV does not cause itchy rashes... can anyone please set my mind at ease? I haven't had decent sleep since the incident... I just need someone to help me figure this out. Please help quick.

Hello~Dr Google is really the last place to look for help, I know, it gets me uptight all the time. Anyway, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases don't just appear overnight, so, I doubt if that is what you have. The little itchy bumps could be a form of stress hives. I would honestly see a GP, this will probably be the only way your mind will be set at ease.

Is there really anything that a stranger on a website can say to you to make you chill?   So go to a clinic and tell them you would like to be tested.  Then go onto U-tube and learn how to use a condom.
