Please advice, very worried about 'protected' sex

[worry1313]

Hi, exactly three weeks ago i was for business in Jakarta. In the hotel there is a bar with a lot of CSW. At night I drunk to much and was still under the influence of sleeping pills for the long flight. No excuses but I took a girl to my room.

I fingered the girl and she gave me a handjob (handjob very shortly i did not wanted it). Then i put on a condom and had vaginal intercourse for about 5 min. During intercourse i even checked if it was still intact, because my foreskin was not all the way back underneath the condom but it looked ok. I felt very dirty and took off the condom myself after we finished, i inmidiately put some water in the condom (not a lot) to test it for holes. I did not see any water dripping out.

I felt horrible and confessed to my long term girlfriend. Now I have huge anxiety for HIV. One week ago I got a cold (runny nose, sore throat, sneezing but no fever) and recovered but the last days I got sick again. My lungs full of phlegm, coughing and noise when breathing. Also had a fever 2 days ago for one night only. Went to doctor yesterday and diagnosed a bronchitis and gave me antibiotics. I feel a bit better now but i am in fear this was caused by ARS. Could this be ARS? I had no very high fever or rash. I did have diarrheas but could be from antibiotics or food, my girlfriend also had it once.

Should I be worried? I want to move on and leave this behind but i cannot stop googling and find low risk for condom protected instead of no risk. Please advice.

Thanks.

If the condom was intact and u did the water test, then what are u worry about?

Do you think I should test again at three months? Five weeks was negative

First off stop looking on the internet. It will cause your anxiety to take the best of u, also u will start to mimic the symptoms u have read. The internet has lots of myths, false information, and outdated info. Secondly, u had protected sex which is "SAFE" sex. If the condom was intact and did not break or fail from detachment. Then u are safe. Additionally information latex and synthetic latex condoms are highly effective against HIV/STIs when used correctly and consistently.

And diarrhoea

I had a negative result back after 5 weeks. I am now having severe body aches and general unwell feeling. Should I test again at 3 months? I am now worrying that I am seroconverting..

See a Dr for it, has nothing to do with HIV

[worry1313]

And whatabout the bronchitis? Could that be a sign of Ars?

[Vance2335]

Never heard that number by the CDC.

Again you had no risk

[worry1313]

Thanks for your reply vance. Why does cdc says 80% effectiveness for condoms, that freaks me out. I also not sure if I rolled it down upside down anymore. Is bronchitis a sign of are? And did anybody ever seen a case like mine where one still got hiv?

[Vance2335]

You had no HIV risk
