Do i have hiv?

About two weeks after a protected sex with a postitute i had a sore throat  and my neck lymph nodes swollen,but without fever.what really worries me is that my throat have never been like this,usually my sore throat means that i have a cold,but this time it lasts and i didnt have a cold,besides,the swollen neck lymph nodes is quite usual.i have read in some articles that says swollen neck lymph nodes  are the early signs of HIV,I am so scared now.would someone help me?
I cant make sure whether the condom broke or not,cause the girl took off the condom and i am shortsighted,I just remember the top of the condom is white and that is my semen.

You definitely would have known if the the condom had broken. It would have been extremely hard to remove. It wouldnt have come of that easily. You had no risk with protected sex and don't need to test for this incident.

Anyways, if you're sexually active outside a monogamous relationship, it is advised to test for ALL STDs inclusive of hiv periodically.

Be well.
