Scared and need advice
Hi Doc,
I had protected oral and vaginal sex with an escort before 9 months ago. That time I didn't have a girlfriend and now I recently started a relationship so we plan to marry within one year time.
My concern is do I need to get tested before I get married?
I have no symptoms up to now, condom didn't break in the encounter as I removed it after having sex. but I noticed that my penis was wet, not sure it's due to fluids or any other reason.
I'm scared now and can you assist on this?
Many thanks.

Since the condom didn't break your penis was protected. If a condom fails it is a large rip down the seam and that didn't happen. Oral is not a sex risk for HIV, so you are safe.

Thank you, Doc. Revel for me!
So what are my chances of catching HIV here?
would you recommend to get a test or can I continue with my girlfriend?
Note - This is my first sex experience.

Your chances of getting HIV are ZERO.
As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
If you never do either of those, except with someone you know is HIV-negative, then you will never have to worry about HIV. No reason at all to test since you had no risk.

@CurfewX Thank You doc.
I've posted this on Jul 24th. As of today, I've left arm pain and recurring shoulder pains. After googling I found that these symptoms occurring due to anxiety or stress but I'm scared that as I found these can be due to HIV as well?
Also Can condoms have defects leakages etc? or am I worrying for no reason?
Appreciate your guys help!

You need to reread all the advice because that was answered.
Also if you continue over-examining your body looking for clues then go Googling for Death, you can always find someone on the internet who will tell you that you show signs that you might die.
The first step to peace is to stop Googling and examining your body cold turkey because there is NOTHING useful on Google for your self diagnostic attempts. You have no medical training so it is unrealistic for you to have so much faith in your ability to diagnose disease.
Likely there is nothing wrong with your shoulder other than tensing up in fear but you can always see a professional for advice instead of wasting your time trying to work up an impossible HIV disease theory.
