URGENT HELP NEEDED

I had sex with a commercial  sex worker.During the act i heard a pop sound but continued with the act.The next day when i woke up I had bodyaches and fever . Suddenly i questioned myself was that sound of condom breaking and i have contracted HIV.I felt uneasy and started feeling anxious from that day.I had HIV ELISA test done after 3 weeks which came out to be negative.I searched the net and found that the test should be done after 3 months for surity.Its been one month.I have developed a severe fungal infection on my buttocks but i had had it for 2 years and didnt took any medications except for canesten cream.I take bath in winters usually after 7 days.What should I do???I am making me believe I have HIV.....PLZ help me

Had the condom failed you would have known. You do not need testing for HIV.

I agree, there is no maybe it broke, maybe it didnt. When a condom breaks it completely shreads to the ring. No such thing as it torn a little, or had a hole. Symptoms mean NOTHING. I stuck myself with a needle at work from a confirmed HIV pos person. I had, fever, fatigue, what I thought was a rash, headaches, night sweats, and joint pain. All ARS right??? WRONG. I just finished my six month test and it was negative. I had a cold and A LOT of anxiety. And so do you.

You would know if the condom broke or not because your John Thomas would be exposed.Symptoms mean nothing really.You had no risk.

No, a single antibody test three months after exposure is conclusive. In your case, a condom was used therefore, you dont require testing from this event.

You don't have an HIV concern, however, if you want to avoid repeat fungal infections, you need to vathe WAY more than every 7 days!!!  You should bathe every day, hygiene is very important.
