What are my chances of HIV
Okay so this is a long story with quite bit of detail
2 weeks ago I engaged in full protected sex with a stranger. There were 2 instances of protected vaginal intercourse, there were no issues with this and the condom remained on through the full time, however she then removed the condom and continued with oral intercourse, after a while she found a second condom and put it on before resuming vaginal intercourse. It was all fine but i dont think on the second attempt i put the condom on properly, as when i pulled out for the last time before being finished orally, the condom slipped off, but remained kind of on the tip of my penis.
Its been 2 weeks, I have had mild cold like symptoms, such as a sore head, blocked nose, and a cough. I have a mother who is a nurse and she said I dont have a fever, i have checked and have no identifiable HIV Rash on my chest, and none of my lymph nodes are swollen. I havent lost any more weight than I do normally with a cold, and ive still been able to work both jobs and go the gym as normal.
So from these symptoms, does it sound like I could be diagnosed with HIV. Im just incredibly paranoid as it was my first time having full intercourse and I would some peace of mind

If the condom covered the head of your penis during intercourse, you had no risk for HIV.
If you aren't sure, you can test for HIV in a couple of weeks with a 4th generation test for your conclusive result. No one can identify HIV by symptoms, and yours sound more like a common virus - like a cold - than anything else.

Thank you! I dont fully believe I have it either, its just better to be safe, will most likely go for a test at some point next week
It is unlikely you were exposed to HIV unless you had sex with a prostitute or drug user.
The health dept offers free HIV and std testing, along with hepatitis testing.
If you are concerned, it would be wise to go through testing for all.
