Broken condom - HIV ?

Hello , I'm from Eastern Europe.Soon I  travelled to Thailand .I had an incident with a prostitute - my condom broke during vaginal intercourse.3 days after this i got fever 37.5 , strong aches in the arms , legs and also headache.Also there were and still are some strange purple spots on the iner side of my palms.I'm having these symptoms for a month.2 weeks after firts symptoms went to doctor , i had sore throat , but no achs - only red colour.I drunk some pills which didn't help with the fever.It was 37.2 all day and during te night is 36.8.I made a fast "Insti" antibody test 25 days after exposure - it was negative , but it's a bit early so i'm gonna test again at 6th week or 2 months.Also made full blood test - everything seems good - no sign of infection.My question is what is the chance of gettin Hiv depending on the situation and the sypmtoms assuming that the girl was hiv-positive and what should i do before next test.Could it be another disease and what should i examine for.What bothers me in the constant low grade temperature 37.2.Any suggestions or inormation ? Thank you in advance.

Symptoms or lack of will never tell you your status. The only way to tell your status is by testing.

Yeah , i tested az 25 days post eposure with fast INSTI antibody test , it was negative , but i know it's too early.Now i't thinking to test again at 6th week and if hopefully negative , at 3 months again.Is there any connection between the symptoms and production of antibodies , if i still have symptoms at day 25  could i test positive if i was infected ?

Symptoms with ARS come on 2-4 weeks post exposure. You can obtain a conclusive test result 3 months post exposure.
