Catching HIV from using a used condom???

[badr]

Hi,

While on a trip to Bali about 6 weeks ago, was with friends and we all went to a brothel..
I wasn't prepared for this, and so, did not have condoms on me. When I went in, I was a little intoxicated, and did have sex with a sex worker. I remember that I wasn't too comfortable doing it, so I did rush a little.
However, the sex worker did use a condom, and I didn't remember her actually opening a new packet - I'm assuming that she had a used one she has used previously with other clients.
After finishing, we all went back to our hotel, and that was that.
Later on, I did start to feel concerned that I might have gotton HIV from this sex worker, but was not sure. there have been no symptoms.
Last week, I was in a public rest room, at the urinal, and there was this guy there jacking off. I started to jack off also, then he grabbed my penis and started to masturbate me. I didn't feel comfortable with this, so I pulled out after about 15 seconds. I continued to masturbate myself and then ejaculated and left.
After this session in the public restroom, that same evening, I developed a very strong fever, headache, and muscle and joint pain.
I started to look up HIV on the internet, and the symptoms seem to be what I had.
On that day, I was also driving my car - very hot day, with the AC blowing on my chest with very cold air. I am pretty sure the fever / flu symptoms are from going in and out of the air conditioned car several times that day, but I do have the feeling that it could possibly be HIV infection.
Apart from those 2 incidents, I have never done anything risky sexually.
My question is - is it possible to catch hiv from having sex - could I get HIV from the used condom, and what of the handjob????
Should I get tested also?

thanks

Thanks so much for the advice, I went to my doctor this morning, and he pretty much said the same thing - that I don't even need to be tested, and that all I have is common flu.

thanks again!!

I've never had a flu last this long before!!

You used protection and that did not fail. You have no risk, Period. HIV infection symptoms never surface overnight after the exposure. Dreams are dreams, come back to the reality, HIV is not your problem.

honestly - that is all I have ever done risky sexually, however, the other night I dreamt I had aids, and the very next day, I got these flu symptoms.
Like I said, I do think they are from driving in the car, and the dream is just guilty coscience/anxiety etc..

however, if you were to give me a percentage chance of having caught hiv from the 2 experiences I mentioned, what would it be??

Recycling is good for natural resources only and condoms are synthetic materials. It recminds me an old school time saying,,,, Height of poverty,,, Washer man mark on a condom, And CSW's is Indonesia are not too poor to afford a new one for next client.

OH GOOD GRIEF ! ! ! !  so you're thinking that this sex worker "reused" a condom?  c'mon...use common sense.  
to answer your question...NO...you would not be at risk of contracting hiv from a reused condom.  EEWWHHHH
