Extremely worried
EXTREMELY Worried. Please help by responding immediately...
I am 31 years old and had a vaginal sex with a girl of unknown HIV status using two condoms at a time. It was my first sexual encounter. I ejaculated twice and both times I used double condoms as I changed after first ejaculation. Both times the condoms seemed to be intact and I could see my semen inside the condom. It's almost over 28 days now and since the past couple of days I have developed almost all symptoms like pain in the back (I have a history of L3 compression and pelvis hairline fracture in 2007), mild fever, cough with something in throat, body ache, night sweats, hot flashes through out the body, had stiffness and pain in the back of neck, not visible swollen lymph gland but some feeling at groin and jaw and neck had no severe diareah.
Since the day after this exposure I was panic stricken with stress and anxiety and cannot sleep at all with insomnia like features and wake up at 2 or 3 or 4 am in the morning due to all sorts of weird thoughts. I am not sure if I really contracted HIV or the stress is taking its toll on me. I need help Please someone advice. DR. Bob please answer this. I am extemely worried and it's driving me crazy. What should I do? Someone please say something....

I got tested and my results are

HIV-P24 Antigen - Non reactive.
HIV DNA PCR - Not detected.
I hope I can move on now peacefully. Thank you all for all your comments.

You are letting anxiety control common sense.
If a negative result is what you need then take a 4th gen test at 28 days after the sex you are concerned about.
Expect it to be negative.
Next time use one quality latex condom instead of 2.
As explained to you already, friction between the two condoms will increase the chance of a break.
Stop living on the internet and give your mind a break from this.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
