still lost dr. hhh

I had possible exposure on March 20th. I went a massage parlor and masseuse put a lot of lubricant on. Towards the end my condom slipped down a little then she wipped me with towel . Started having diahrea 13 days post and weight loss. Took elissa at 15 days and 38-negative. I toolk a RNA pcr at 18 days because CDC said I was high risk cause of sex worker. It was negative. My gi did rapid test at 45 days. My gi also had them do a naat and syphilis test at 49 days. Both came back negative. About five days after went to er for abdomen pain and rash. They told me RNA is used for treatment not diagnosis. They said ellisa were to early. She also said naat was too late something about viral load being low by then. Both my gi and primary said RNA at 18 days was conclusive especially with confirmation of elissa. But now I'm freaked cause of what I was told in er. Help stressed.

This is not the doctor's forum.  If you want an answer from a doctor, you'll have to pay the fee and post on the expert forum.

You never had a risk.  The condom "slipping" is not a concern.  As long as the head of your penis remained covered with a condom during insertive sex, then you were protected.

You never needed testing, and still do not need testing.  You had no risk, you don't have HIV.
