Worried

I had sex with a guy I bottomed on 1/2/13 no oral sex just sex with a condom (I put the condom on him) I checked the condom after sex and there was no holes in the condom or anything...About 5 days later my stomach started being upset with diarrea, vomiting, nausea, no fever or flu signs as of yet...Today makes a week and the stomach issues are still going on...It's almost about 2 weeks since the sexual encourter I had blood work done and I guess why I am alarmed is my WBC was low (3.5), Neutrophils low (33 L), and Lymphs high (57 H) my stomach issue was going on all week so I got sick again and went in the hospital on Saturday my WBC was 5.4....I guess what is throwing me off is that the stomach issues and the low and high blood counts...My question is could these be signs of ARS?

Do you mean to say, you are not sure if he penetrated you with the condom or without the condom?

I'm still questioning the condom I put it on him...but I'm ify about whether he took it off...I guess I'm worried because my stomach stopped hurting today but now it seems as if I am catching the flu

As you have had protected sex, there is no HIV concern. Symtoms are not a good way of diagnosing HIV. As far as the condoms are concerned, they do not have microscopic holes in them if they fail, if a comdom fails, it completely tears and it is noticable.
