Sex with escort

I am male, and had sex with an escort 2 weeks ago.
It was protected but I think the condoms she used was those skin ones not latex.
This increases risk.
I feel now that I have a raised temperature and slight still muscles and joints.
How Likely is it that I have HIV?
I am really anxious, and feel that my life is over at 19,
I will not be doing this again,

Thanks for any posts.

But don't you think it is a bit of a coincidence that I'm getting these symptoms?
How long until I can take a HIV test?
I've got a normal sti test on Wednesday.
Thanks for the reply

Doesn't change a thing that you never had an exposure and your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.

Indeed.
Skyn with a "Y".

And if he could read the label than he was safe.

Skin condoms? as in the brand ?

Skin Condoms are a  brand name  from thin Polyisoprene condoms made by LifeStyles. They are safe
More than likely she used that brand. Most prostitutes would not use natural condoms.
If You meant natural condoms made from lambskin than it's a differnt story.
Lambskin condoms or "natural condoms" do not offer complete protection.
However, if you were able to read the label, than more than likely they were made from Poly. The feel and dexterity is quite different.

If in doubt, you need to test at the appropriate time.

Escorts use condoms to protect themselves from you. You an guarantee that she used the correct condom.
