Welcome to our Forum and thanks for your question.  I'll be pleased to provide some information.  Congratulations on your condom use and commitment to safe sex- it will keep you safe.  Condoms remain the best way to prevent transmission of STIs, including HIV when you are having sex with a new or casual partner of unknown infection status.  Many of our clients worry that their condoms may have failed but we know that if the condom was worn throughout sex and appears intact after completion of sex, that the encounter is well protected.  When condoms fail, they break wide open leaving no doubt that they have failed, they do not "leak".  Thus had your condom failed, you would know it.   In addition, the presence of your partner's genital secretions on your stomach and in your public hair does not represent a risk.  This skin is not susceptible to HIV infection.   Finally, your combination HIV antigen/antibody test at 35 days is completely reliable and PROVES that you did not get HIV form the encounter you have described.   There is no need for concern or further testing.  My guess is that your symptoms were a summer cold or other viral illness- clearly they were not HIV.

I hope you find this information helpful.  EWH
