HIV risk assessment
Dear doctor, hello, (my English is not good, please understand) I come from China, now I am very afraid and anxious. Three months ago I had unprotected sex with a prostitute (with an overlength of foreskin), two nights a night, longer second sex, a condom slipping to half the penis, and exposure for about half an hour. The tenth day tonsil inflammation (no treatment, self-healing) for seven days, 16 days, anorexia, diarrhea, 19 days revealed an enlarged left sternocleidomastoid, day 20 acute rhinitis attack (cold), 22 days of onset of acute laryngitis () a dry throat, cough, take medicine two days better, and the joint pain (off and on for nearly four months). Now the fear and anxiety have seriously affected my life, what I should do, has not been tested. Looking forward to your reply, thank you!
Inner foreskin is still permeable to hiv. Go get tested and put this behind.

Condoms cover the foreskin
Likely she is negative if she always uses a condom because she is doing it to protect herself from clients. If she was positive she likely wouldn't pay money for condoms. But since half of your penis was covered then you didn't have any risk and should stop worrying.
you say unprotected in your original story, but then above say your encounter was condom both times, from what I understand. maybe the language barrier is causing an issue here, but I'll answer both. if you didnt wear a condom, you should get tested. symptoms are not a good indicator, but since you're three months out any test will be conclusive. if you did wear a condom, you had no risk.
Thank you for your answer, I used a condom, during the process of contraception covered half of the penis, so there is a risk? Look forward to your answer
I already answered that.

Unprotected sex is a risk. Since it is already three months now, get tested for Antibody test, collect your conclusive report and move on with your life. The infection is never judged by symptoms, so forget the symptoms

Hi, doctor, it's protected sex, it's just condoms that come off in the middle of the penis, but it's still covered with the head of the penis. Is that a big risk? Looking forward to your reply, thank you.
I'm sorry, doctor. I'm really scared now. I don't know what to do
