Sorry teak please, since I'm in africa (nigeria) I don't know how effective the condoms are, whether it has tiny holes on them or not...but the condom I used with sex worker didn't break, was wondering if vaginal fluid can get in from those tiny holes that I might not know of...and I'm just worried about my symptoms if its anxiety produced (sore throat and pain in the eye) thanks hoping to hear from you soon

Condoms don't have tiny holes in them. It is irrational to think that she wants to give you HIV. You had no risk.

No. As long as the condom did not break, you did not have a risk.
