A mild doubt ?

Hello experts, last friday i had sexual intercourse with with CSW. It is vaginal sexy and oral sex. The intercourse were protected during the entire period and no slippage or breakage. About 3 days later i started to have flu and my throat is dry enough. Before this i had sex with 10 CSW and only did  one HIV A/AB from last exposure n the result came out negative..Now i am worried enough because i scared i might get infected just because of this flu and my throat is dry enough. Am i at risk because flu is one of the common symptom of hiv once the virus enters inside the body. :(

Hi,you are never at risk if you use condoms correctly. Have millions of encounters with a condom on and you would still be safe.

Secondly and very important, Flu is not a symptom of HIV, HIV symptoms of early infection are only felt by some people and they are Flu like but its not a Flu.

Hope this helps.

Would you be implying that there's no recorded cases of infected where the condom was used properly. I'm just terrified that somehow the virus could live in lube or whatever sexual fluid that gets in your pubic region or on your scrotum, and could perhaps go in some microscopic lesion that you're unaware of.

I see and another 1 last question. My hand palms are sweaty at times. Just a little and few websites states that sweaty palm is also one of the HIV symptom. Is it true or my anxiety is making me like this ?

No testing for protected exposure are needed. No matter what they will always   come back negative.
