Worried after going off the rails

Hi good people,

I’ll spare the details of why, but I had crazy week just gone.  I visited 3 sex workers and had protected sex, oral and vaginal.  I didn’t give any oral.  I did use my finger to stimulate them and kissed two.  I’m not feeling great now, first instance was less than 4 days ago.  The only coherent things I did was check condoms afterwards, all were intact.  Put my worried mind at ease please.

But you’re not recommending testing, right?

Ah ok, so it’s something you would notice without much inspection

Both of you would notice without any inspection.
I meant that you would both know when you just had a ring left and some ripped up pieces of condom hanging off the sides.

Thank you, I have recollection of testing one by filling wth?? water from a tap, it either burst or flew out of my had, would that be a concern, it did fill up like a balon before bursting or disappearing, so it should have been intact while inside my partner.

You don't need to test a condom considering it would be in tatters if it had failed.

The only sex risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal which you didn't do. Touching HIV is not a risk in case they were positive when you touched.
If they supplied the condoms they are protecting themselves against their customers, in which case they likely are negative anyway.

If a condom fails it is a large rip down the seam and ll you have left is the base which both of your would be aware of.
I hope that is all you need to stop worrying, because you didn't have any risk and don't need to test.
