Did I get infected ?

About a week ago  ( Tuesday 19 feb)I had Sex with a stripper. The club provided the condom but I don’t know if the condom broke. Last Friday as I left the gym I began experiencing a sore throat which by now turned into dry cough and clogged nose. Am I experiencing hiv seroconversion symptoms? I am really scared the condom broke without me knowing.

If your condom would've broken, you would have known.

Stop incessantly reading about HIV online on your phone.

Oral sex with or without condom is not a risk. Protected insertive vaginal or anal sex is also not a risk for HIV.

Please read about HIV and it's transmission in the FAQ section and move on.

I am scared of the quality of the condom. I didn’t even bother to inspect it. I just put it on
If condom fails, it is a large rip down the seam so that didn't happen or you would notice it and it is hard to take off. Therefore, there is no need for an inspection even if you are blind.
Move on from hiv since this was a non event.
Latex is latex, there are no material wise classfication in it.  That's why you would never see condom brands making quality as propaganda, it's always the flavor, sex appeal etc. Therefore, you had no risk and apparently nothing worry.
But i feel sick :((
You have had sore throats before. People cough on your lips and door knobs so sore throat and flu  is to be expected at any time. for the billions of negative people like you.
Dry cough, a slight bout of diarrhea yesterday, clogged nose too:((
I got the flu shot too
As noted by several of our members, you did not have a risk for HIV.  Whatever symptoms you are experience are, therefore, not related to HIV.  There is nothing more to say about this no-risk event.
