Scared..is this HIV?

Hello,
I had vaginal sex with an escort (hooker) about 2 weeks ago. A condom was used, but Im hoping it didn't leak. What if it leaked while I was inside her? Now I have a high 102 fever, headache, and nausea. Today is day 2 with the fever.

Is this ARS symptoms and is this HIV?

Please help. Thanks.

The only risks for HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or to share IV drug needles. You had a barrier. The condom only needs to protect the head of your penis. You describe nothing to indicate there was a condom break and they are quite noticeable. So, you had no risk. I'm sorry you don't feel well but your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV. HIV is only diagnosed by risk assessment (you had none) and testing (you have no reason to test). Symptoms are never used to diagnose HIV. So, focus on this, no risk.

If a condom fails, it is a large rip down the seam so neither of you would miss that. Everyone got cold, flu etc. this winter, so it is time to move on.

I tested negative for flu and covid today. And I do NOT have traditional cold symptoms like runny nose, sore throat. So, what is causing this high fever? Can it be a "run of the mill"virus? Also, are you saying that if the condom didn't have a large rip during sex, then I have nothing to worry about? There's no way I can get hiv because I used the condom? Can you please clarify my questions above here? Thank you.

See doc if you need continued treatment for your respiratory illness or whatever it is that you have contracted, since this is just an hiv prevention forum - and you don't have hiv.
Thank you
Sorry. I have one more question...If I'm taking the condom off after sex and the tip of my penis touches the ring of the condom, can I get hiv like this? Thinking some of her vaginal fluids may have been on the ring part of the condom after the sex. Thanks again
Seriously, we already answered you. I say in my post ONLY the head of your penis needs to be covered. So no, fluid or whatever around the ring of the condom is not a risk. NO RISK
