I have had sex 20Months back
Condom was used and my female partner was a prostitute
No oral or kissing was involved
I was calm since I used a condom but considering that I am having reccurng fever after that and I feel weak when sick
Now I feel worried
Can I be infected after using a condom
I have seen people who believed have had safe sex but ended up being infected

Ps: am worried badly and now I have a diabeties which my doctor said is may be due to stress and this whole hiv situation

I have sores on lips and lymph nodes under the jaw

Dies frequent symtoms mainly lymphes pain and all alter your opinion? I don't think am anxious but I have this worry of hiv all the time but that doesn't stop me from my daily chores

No it doesn't alter anyone's opinion because symptoms are irrelevant when it comes to diagnosis of HIV. You were never exposed to HIV because you used a condom. Therefore any symptoms you're having are totally unrelated.

As Chima7 says, symptoms are unreliable and irrelevant in diagnosing HIV. If you used a condom, you had no risk.  People get sick on a regular basis and believing it's not just a virus and that it is related to HIV when you never had a risk is playing mind tricks on yourself. No risk means you had no chance of getting the virus.  And you should let the worry go.

[GuitarRox]

I agree with Chima7.  Symptoms are not used to diagnose HIV because they are unreliable and often irrelevant to that diagnosis.  People get germs and sick all the time regardless of their sexual activity. Since you had no risk, you need not worry about HIV.  Applying all symptoms, aches and pains you have to it is a manifestation of anxiety.  Hopefully you can let that go.  You do not have HIV.

Very clearly your mind is working in an anxious way.  You had protected sex which provides a barrier to acquiring HIV.  The only way adults get HIV in the real world is to have unprotected vaginal or anal penetrating sex or sharing IV drug needles.  So, with no risk, there is no concern and you can rest easy.  Time to move on after this long of a period of worry.  You can relax regarding protected sex episodes.

You were never at risk for transmission. Please see a doctor for your ailments, they have no relation with HIV because you were never exposed. Please don't post wrong information, no one ends up acquiring HIV by using a condom correctly. You don't need to test.
