HIV risk from flipped condom

On October first I had vaginal sex with csw in Morocco, and in the middle of the act I noticed the condom was put inside out so I flipped it and continued having sex. On nov 5 i came down with fever and sore throat. I just wanted to ask what is my risk of contracting hiv from this incident. And are symptoms after 30 days still considered ars symptoms.

That's not how HIV works. First, your condo flipped inside out and then flipping it. Well, that would not result in an issue. Whatever fluid present would be exposed to air which inactivate the virus. So, you had no risk. And secondly, hiv is not diagnosed by symptoms. Ever. It's assessed by risk and if someone DID have a risk, they test. Your symptoms are that of any type of illness and not a big deal. No reason to associate them to HIV and HIV doesn't cause symptoms a month later. You had no risk.

Thanks for your answer. So when you say exposed to air, even for just seconds it would inactivate. And for symptoms do you think a mouth is too late for symptoms to appear.
Thanks again
That's what we have been saying. Take care
