Rash and headache possible ars?

Hello all,
30 days ago the condom fell off with the guy I was seeing. A week later I started having headaches that lasted about 5 days as well as an itchy rash that looked like a splotchy sunburn that went away after a week, but still comes back when I get more anxiety. Then 28 days later I had a tender spot on my right armpit and feels like a pea sized bump possible swollen lymph node? Is it possible to get the symptoms at separate times?
Thank you in advance for any help

Unprotected vaginal sex is a risk. A 4th gen duo test is conclusive after 28 days, so you can test now and get the results in 24-48 hours. I expect your results will be negative.

Try to relax until your test since nothing is pointing toward you having HIV. Symptoms aren't useful to diagnose because they are usually from other diseases, so the best thing to do to help relax is to quit Googling cold turkey. Only a test can provide the answer so Googling symptoms will only make you more anxious.

Only sex risk is if he was penetrating when the condom came off so can you explain how it happened?

We were having vaginal intercourse, I am unsure of how far into it the condom fell off as he did not say anything until the end. He did not cum in me
