was there chance of contracting?
A long time ago, like 2 years now, I had protected sex with a man who has hiv (didn't know about it).At the time i had a slight yeast infection so it hurt and I bled a little.Now there was no clear break in the condom,they looked fine but there was a slight liquid stain (where i sat so maybe it was just me) and shortly after I got a huge rash around genital area (thrush) started to freak out, and got mouth ulcers etc, decided to take an antibody test at four weeks,then five,then six weeks and two days and they were negative (rapid blood tests at chemist).I tried to stop obsessing but since then it has been in my mind, I have had several lung infections (sorted by antibiotics within days) and also have problems with candida infection in the skin (comes more at times of stress) . Also sometimes my mouth flares up on only one side of toungue with ulcers or just pains. Is there a chance a condom (durex) could perefrate really small holes? maybe from a hair or somthing? Could i be bringing this on myself by anxiety and believing I am sick??? Or are these signs telling me I have hiv? Please help
