Protected but still worried
5 weeks ago i had protected sex with sex workers, she give me a condoms she said she got the condoms from her friends, i know i was protected but im still worried about the condom, cause i always thinking "how if" the comdoms was sabotage by her friends, i know the condoms didn't break which is 0 risk of hiv, but some symptoms came in 2-5 week later like lymph nodes under my hair on my head, very small rash, sore throat, i know symptoms are mean nothing but i still worried about it. My question is, should i take a test or just ignore it? Because take a test is just wasting time if my risk is 0 Thank you
" i know i was protected" " i know symptoms are mean nothing" You already know the answers, so just have to believe them, so you can relax and enjoy your normal life again.
People don't poke holes in condoms for a hobby when they give the condom to their friend. Nothing happened to the condom so you are safe. If you can't relax and accept you had no risk then take a duo after 4 weeks, which means you can take it any day now.
Next time you should supply the condoms so you don't have to worry about this imaginary hole poking afterwards.
