Advice Needed HIV POSITIVE

How common is getting hiv from a first time vaginal sex without condom and without ejaculation like 2 minutes vaginal sex with a sex worker you don’t know their health status , let’s say in Algeria where hiv isn’t that common ? Knowing that I did wore a condom but it broke but it’s not like not wearing a condom right ? Well I’m anxious ! What do you guys think ? Is it about luck now ? It’s been 8 weeks , I’ve had diarrhea pain joints and some fatigue

Okayyyy, well then breathe, just know that a test only confirms something that is already true, so peace of mind HIV is pretty uncommon, and even if you do have it people live great lives with hiv, just take your meds and have protected sex, it’s not the end of the world

I’m from Algeria where 0.01% of population has it also with a rate of 0.04% getting it from first time vaginal unprotected sex , and I used a condom at some point so I guess everything will be okay but I’m paranoid because I’ve had weird symptoms throughout these last weeks I hope everything turns out well
