Hi,

HIV caused via the contact of body fluid from infected person, so if you reused the condom from the infected person but did not have a contact to the fluid from that condom.

The symptoms your are facing such as stomach cramps and other stuff are not from HIV infection, HIV takes 1-2 year to establish its reign, so the symptoms may be from some other infection like food poisoning.

ADVICE- contact near by physician and explain the condition, he/she will prescribe antibiotics , mean while take some fluids.
please do not use reused condoms again and follow safe sex practice.

Hope it helps.
