Is this all stress or HIV related?

I want to appreciate anyone that reads and posts to help my life better. I had protected sex at a massage parlor six days ago on the 22nd of April. It was around 30 seconds of oral sex with condom on and then onto a couple of minutes of protected sex. All of this ends with me ejaculating in the condom while my penis was still in her vagina. When I pulled out, the condom had like air bubbles. Not in the shape of bubbles but it had air spots.  I also have a uncircumcised penis and I read somewhere that you have to put it on properly. I got my blood drawn today but this whole thing is consuming me and I'm just not feeling good no more. I have diarrhea for the last few days and still continuing. I have headaches as well. I have loss of appetite.

Your questions are fueled by anxiety.  You were already told you had ZERO risk, so of COURSE any new "symptom" you have is not going to be HIV related!

Time to put this behind you and accept that you didn't have a risk.  If you cannot do that, I recommend seeking some professional help.

I guess I just want reassurance about this and I'm sorry to ask a lot of questions even though you guys say I was at no risk. Is itchy/red eye a symptom? Ever since two days ago, every time I would get out the shower, one or both my eyes would be red and itchy. Again, I'm sorry for asking about every problem I'm running into.

Oh wow fast response, thank you both so much for my troubles. I think this whole sneezing and sniffing thing might be due to allergies. I just noticed my eyes are more red than usual. Do you think it's allergies or wrong section of forum to ask?

oh you would have known if the condom failed...even with HER taking it off.  these women have sex as a job.  they use condoms to protect themselves from YOU...not the other way around ! !  if your condom had failed, she would have been very upset.

No they are not ARS symptoms.The classic ARS symptoms are very high fevers,body rash and very sore throats.You had no risk therefore you don't have ARS symptoms.

Nothing to do with HIV because you had no risk and you shouldn't be scared at all.

It has been exactly two weeks and I've noticed that I'm having pain that come and go on my left arm and legs. I've also noticed the skin on my fintertips are peeling off/dry. Is it possible that I'm affected? I also have a runny nose that began today as well. I'm so scared now.

Everyday I look at this thread, a couple of times too, just to cheer myself up and relieve some of the stress. So far today, I had a few problems of what I said in the question but it all cleared up through out the day. Appreciate your help a lot guys.

I'm just afraid of all this because I didn't get to check the condom if there was any breakage or anything. She pulled the condom out herself with a towel and from there I went to the shower then home.
