Around 6 months ago...

I had protected sex with a sex worker but I kept on the condom after I wore my pants. I am experiencing HIV like symptoms. I have around 3 loose stools a day, burning when peeing and frequent peeing, EXTREME fatigue (I sleep 10 hours a day), anxiety and confusion, RAPID WEIGHT LOSS (I'm losing so much weight), and my hands and feet tingle when I'm sleeping in bed. I also had very low blood pressure around a week ago and it was with fever (38) and extreme watery diarrhea.

I am very scared to even get tested because the idea of positive is killing me. What will happen to the girl I wanted to marry? What will happen to my life? :( I am very scared. Please help me.

See a doctor if you are concerned they have nothing to do with HIV.

HIV is not transmitted from environmental surfaces.

I didn't have any sex since then. So is it possible that it could be transmitted another way, like using public toilet seats, or glass shards laying on the beach?
