Flu like symptoms.

I had sex with a lady recently and i used a condom but after the affair there was a bit of fluid on my thigh and the lady claimed it was from her discharge. Ever since that day I have been having flu like symptoms and I have done a blood work at my doctors it came out negative. I went for an HIV testing last week and the result was negative again. The flu like symptom has persisted for over two months now and I am scared and don't know what to do.

Please help.

You would know if the condom broke: this is a "no-risk situation". Cough and flu are not HIV symptoms.

You havent't had a risk for HIV if the condom remained intact. Flu is just that flu.
