I scared that it might be something super bad. and forever reason I been so scared about HIV because of things I've been reading. what should I do?

If it was in February then you really should get tested. Sometimes it can take awhile to have symptoms.
It does sound like you're having an allergic reaction to the condoms but go ahead and get tested just to be sure.

See your Dr and be tested for any infections. You can also be tested for any STD's.
Well -- have you been having unprotected sex recently? If so it might be an issue. With no pain or burning then it might just be from the last time you were involved with vagina sex.
well I've had unprotected sex with previous partners which is why I worry :l but ok thanks for all the advice.

I just commented on your other post. If you and your boyfriend use condoms you don't have to worry about HIV. It sounds like you're having an allergic reaction to the new condoms along with a yeast infection. You may not have any itching in the very beginning. See your Dr about be checked for both a yeast and bacterial infection. Both of these can be taken care of with meds. Make sure you get different condoms too.
