Very worried about getting infected by hiv

Hi. I had vaginal sex with a female for once 33 days back exactly. Initially it was with a condem n wen we were done with the intercourse the condem was broken.  yesterday mrng I noticed a pimple on left thigh wic was small. By evening it's swollen n has a lump now. As big as a golf ball.  The pimple part is hard in the centre n the rest swollen part is soft. After several research on the internet I am freaking out now. As I smoke I have a dry throat most of the times. I don't have anyone to talk about this here and been worried n freaking out. Am I exposed to hiv? Can any doctor help me on this?

As stated by our members, symptoms are not used to diagnose HIV.  Test results are what counts and you've tested negative.  Congratulations.  We know you are anxious but you have tested negative.  We wish you the best and are now closing this discussion.

Non reactive means negative. You do not have HIV. Ignore the number because it's not something that you need to concern yourself with. The only thing that matters is that your result is Non reactive, which means negative, which means you do Not have HIV.

If they said you are negative there is nothing left to worry about so repeating your questions serves no useful purpose.

Symptoms arent used to diagnose HIV so you can ignore them. You can get a conclusive result if you take a 4th gen test now.
