i just need people to talk and reassure me...stupid!

Hey guys, last time I was assured by HIV Prevention Community that I had no risk of getting HIV after protected anal sex. But my mind keep wonder about what if the condom broke and I failed to notice because after sex I just look at his condom (it still looks like condom) but never check very detailed (like feel the condom, or test with water, or check it around for any breakage). The reason I am back with anxiety because, i got an interview which might include hiv and std screening for medical check up this week. If I failed, i wont get the job. second, i found on the internet that one guy got hiv even using condom (but he did not manage to look at the condom after sex, so he assume the condom was broke), third...so many confuse info about condom failure like it only have has small breakage. I am afraid for the interview and the medical check up. I cannot do the test before interview because i dont have money and it really costing, plus it just been a month...anyway i am afraid of everything and anything.

I dont have hiv, no need to test, i need to go for interview! I hope this just anxiety! I need this job. sorry guys... I just dont have anyone to talk about...

If you're that concerned, you can take a test. No one has ever been infected when they correctly used a condom.
