If the condom broke and you replaced it
immediately with another one there are
very little chances for getting any sexual
transmitted disease including HIV. You can
take another test 3 months after exposure
because this is the “window” period
during which the antibodies appear to
fight off possible infection (an HIV test
looks for antibodies in your blood). It
doesn’t seem likely to me that that
tonsillitis is due to an HIV-infection
because if this is true, then the
HIV-test would have been positive.
