Condom slipped off halfway

[Mfumu]

Hi, you're doing an amazing job
I am a 22 years old. It's been exactly one week since I had sex with a girl whom I later learnt that she's HIV positive. I played with her clitoris and fingered her and I didn't think I had any cuts. I did use protection and she was on top of me until the time I was about to ejaculate when I stood up and noticed the condom slipped halfway with the tip covered (I did cum) I removed the condom and put it on a chair and I noticed it had some blood stains near the opening (The girl was wet before the act) I took the condom with me and poured water incase it broke but didn't. 3 days later I experience a flue accompanied by night sweats, the flue went away after 3 days of taking piriton but the night sweats continued accompanied by lack of sleep that I am still experiencing. Other symptoms include itching on the throat as if I'm about to develop sore throat, Passing of diarrhoea like stool that's not too hard and not too watery, a fever which is the latest of the symptoms that I felt yesternight and couldn't sleep because of it ( The middle part of my body was excessively hot but surprisingly my head wasn't) and I'm still experiencing it up to now despite the weather being cold my body is extremely hot. I've read a lot on the internet about how HIV symptoms can be caused by anxiety surprisingly I still get them even after being relaxed and not thinking about the worst most notably at night as I get better during day time. I underwear an STD test yesterday as it is the only test available in my country and it came out negative ( Probably I need to wait 3 months to get correct results). My mind hasn't been at easy and I am unable to sleep due to the fever and night sweats. It's almost certain that everyday that passes by my symptoms will only get worse and I am scared my father will notice them as he is a clinical officer. I am only 20 years old and am so scared of having HIV just on my first experience. I do not have any other symptoms like headache, muscle pain etc but I'm afraid they might start to show as this is only the first week. The pain of waiting for 3 months is worrying me as I don't want my father to notice I've HIV atleast not now.I was in denial but I'm now accepting the fact that I might be giving positive looking at the presentation of my symptom. From what I've described do you think I've got HIV? I will really appreciate your expert opinion

I really appreciate for all your honest responses this has really put me at ease. It's very true that the anxiety has been playing tricks on me and I am certainly working on that. Thank you so much all of you. Much love

As long as the head of your penis was covered during intercourse - and it clearly was - you did not have any risk for HIV.  HIV symptoms don't show up in 3 days anyway, and since you were not at risk for HIV, whatever is causing your symptoms is not related to HIV.

Thank you so much Curfew and just to ease my anxiety and confirm what you've said I'll post my results when I get tested in 3 weeks time

There's no reason to get tested or to post your results.  Since you never had a risk for HIV, your result will be negative.

No need for messy water tests either because if a condom fails it rips down the seam so you both notice it because it is hard to take off with the ring holding it. Until you stop imagining that you had a risk your anxiety will keep playing tricks on you and make you think you are sick - which you aren't.

Sorry to come back again I just want to be clear. Today marks exactly how one week since my last encounter. I really tried by all means to calm my nerves of which I think I did but just like yester evening, my trunk is extremely hot(Stomach and the back) as and today I've developed something like a flue with my middle body part extremely hot (Stomach making sounds with loose stool and I've realized I've rash at the back) Suprisly my temperature when I touch my face is normal but my middle part is extremely and worryingly hot. I understand the risk is low but while I am still feeling this way? Is it still my anxiety when I've developed flue like symptoms, rash to accompany the fever on the middle part of my body? I am confused! Remember that I've got night sweats too as well as insomia. As much as much as I want to move on from this these symptoms seem not to be allowing me to. Sorry for asking too much I am just confused right now. The girl is confirmed positive!
