Drunk with a csw

I had protected with a csw but I was to drunk to remove the condom. I think the condom broke but when I woke up the csw was not there. I went to my doctor who gave me pep. I started prep on the 68 hour mark and I'm not quite sure if the pep is going to work. 10 days after I'm having flu.
Should I be concerned? Will my pep be effective?

I agree.  Condoms really are messy when they break and you'd likely have noticed.  Pep is usually reserved for an absolute unprotected vaginal or anal sex exposure with someone that is known to have HIV.  The risk if it isn't known is so low, less than 1 %, that most doctors do not think PEP is needed. If you have started pep, that's up to you.  Obviously if you take it as directed, it is going to work. Having flu symptoms ten days after pep are not related to hiv transmission.   Pep has a lot of side effects in itself.

"I think the condom broke because I didn't see anything till the following day."

THis is difficult to understand. Why does the fact that you slept  make you think a condom broke?

If you were really drunk she might not have had sex with you since she doesn't like it and just wants your money. Maybe she just took your money and let you go to sleep, which is why you couldn't find the condom.

If a condom fails it rips down the seam and hangs in tatters. You would have known that because the rip is so large and it's hard to take off because the ring holds it on so it is difficult to believe that the condom broke. Why do you think it broke?

I think the condom broke because I didn't see anything till the following day. I slept immediately after the intercourse.
Unfortunately, we we are nervous or anxious, our mind starts to play tricks on us.  Basically, anxiety always tricks us into thinking worst case scenario. I would not be worried.  And if you took pep (no idea how you talked your doctor into that as it wouldn't be indicated based on what you describe) then you won't get HIV.  The fact that you can't accept that and relax is really indicative of anxiety issues.  Have you ever thought about working on those? Also, getting drunk is easy.  Making mistakes when drunk is easy. Sometimes factoring that in when deciding how much to drink is helpful.  I'd drink less to save yourself this concern.
