John,
You absolutely did NOT have a risk for hiv infection. Sexually speaking, the only proven risks are unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse. You did the right thing and wore a condom. NO RISK.
If you feel unwell, see a doctor. Whatever is going on has nothing to do with hiv.

sorry for replay late summary was taken test after 17 days possible exposure rapid test was negative and RNA test was also negtive but both after 17 days should i get tested after 3 months because 2 days ago i drank alot at home and woke up with anal fissure and when ever i google anal fissure always say might be due to HIV

Possible exposure?
Not according to anything you have written.
This is absolutely not an HIV situation.

You need to do yourself a smart favor and stop googling about HIV and symptoms. All that will get you is nothing good feeding your worst fears and all to no good purpose.
You haven't had a risk for HIV. Period. Now stop making drama and get on with your life. Really.

Once again, you have not had a risk for hiv infection.
In adults, hiv is transmitted by:
Unprotected anal intercourse.
Unprotected vaginal intercourse.
Sharing drug injecting equipment.
And that's it.
A broken condom is very obvious. You would have known if it broke. You didn't have a risk.
Here's what you need to know in order to avoid hiv infection:
You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL sexually transmitted infections together.
To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with an STI. Sex without a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.
Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.
ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED TO TEST FOR HIV SPECIFICALLY OVER ANY OF THE THINGS YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT, anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.
If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.
Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!

Again, no risk. I certianly hope you will not be freaking out each and every time you visit a massage parlor. Those things are supposed to relax you.
