Hi please help, i am getting very worried.
I had sex last week on monday night (8th may) with a worker girl. i used a condom.
2 days later, i noticed my urine started smelling very foul. now on tuesday the week after (+8 days), the smell has subsided but is still there. I searched and assured myself it might just be Urinary Tract Infection and went to doctor yesterday and prescribed me antibiotics. I was scared I might have contracted HIV and looked for early symptoms. From this morning Tuesday, I noticed my right armpit is swollen, most possibly the lymph node I think since I just looked at online pictures. Also, yesterday on monday (+7 days), I started having diarrhea. It's not bad that it's uncontrollable, but everytime I need to go to the toilet to do the business, it's always diarrhea since yesterday. I read HIV might show these symptoms from the 2nd week to the 4th week. No onset of fever or irregular night sweats at the moment but I am getting worried. I still stay with my parents, what measures can I take to avoid contact with them?
Details on the sex, straightforward sex. I used a condom, at first she gave me oral. Then she was on top of me and before we rotated to do it doggy style, I had a pre-ejaculation inside the condom, very minor amount. Then came inside condom while I'm still inside her doggy-style. However, soon after I just rested on the bed without taking a leak. The girl went to toilet and took out wet tissue paper as well as dry ones and first cleaned the pubic hair area around my penis, then took out the condom and wiped my penis with I think the same wet tissue paper. She then used the dry ones to wipe my penis and surrounding area dry. She took a shower while I waited and I held my pee until I went to shower after her.
After reading online, I assumed I had UTI since its foul smelling, but now I worry if I might have contracted HIV as well. Please provide professional diagnosis whether my symptoms are high risks of HIV and whether our sexual actions puts me at high risk to get whatever diseases she has, specifically HIV. The doctor told me I can only check for STDs after a month and HIV 6 months after.
Thank you and please help.

I'm not sure if you meant y'all used a condom for oral sex or not, but oral sex is relatively low risk, especially when you're the person receiving the oral. It's hard for doctors to estimate exactly how many people have contracted HIV from oral sex but they estimate the risk is somewhere between .5 and 1 out of 10,000 exposures.
Lymphnodes swell for a number of reasons. I've read stories of people's lymphnodes swelling from cuts on their heads from scratching. People have reported lymphnode swelling due to cat scratches. It's also possible you had the flu and that's why your lymphnodes swell.
Diarrhea can be caused by stress. My stomach has been messed up for the past three months since I started worrying about this. Everything online says symptoms of acute hiv infection subside after 2-3 weeks, I've been feeling like this for months. It's probably stress induced.
If that condom wasn't broken then there really isn't a reason to believe you were infected with anything..
The window period is 3-6 months, but most people will test positive by day 21.. Most people consider 3 months conclusive because 99 percent of people will test positive by then. Usually people with compromised immune systems take longer.
