Clarification, Verification...
I've read through numerous questions and responses from the both of you. Obviously everyone's situation is different but I have tried to piece together various experiences and feedback to relate to my own, however it would be just to validate my assumptions. I'll try to keep this short.
1) I recently had protected sex with a prostitute in Asia, she is of Asian heritage, I am American.
2) Before our encounter we had minimal foreplay in which she touched me, I touched her, etc.
3) Once erect I obviously discharged precum, touched myself to wipe it away and subsequently MAY have touched her genital area though brief if so. I did notice she was wet.
4) She grabbed a condom, I put it on and we proceeded to have sex.
5) We stopped briefly so she could apply lubricant and then we continued.
6) We had sex for all of 2 minutes and I did not ejaculate during intercourse.
7) I removed the condom and tried to see if it was damaged but it seemed intact. I suspect with that material that if it were to break I would know it? I don't know if there are microscopic tears or holes to the point I wouldn't know? I guess that would be impossible to answer.
8) I proceeded to masturbate and ultimately ejaculated while laying down, and I ejaculated on my own abdomen area to which she did not come in contact with.
I have no history of any viruses, am not HIV positive, do not engage in this disgusting behavior ever except for this encounter when I was on a business trip, out drinking with colleagues...a common beginning to much of this activity in Asia. I did ask her if she was clean, she said yes but to what degree of truth of course I don't know. She was insistent on using a condom which provided some level of trust but I never would have done that without one.
I assume I am okay, but merely want to validate that. Concerned about precum transmission, condom breaking, etc. I appreciate in advance any feedback.

It means exactly what the words say. Being at risk means having unprotected high risk sex, shared drug injection equipment, etc. If you have not had those things, then you are not at risk.
Thanks very much for the prompt reply and confirmation. However what does "assuming you are not otherwise at risk for HIV" imply? I'm not sure what would qualify me as "at risk". Thanks again...

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for scanning it for similar discussions before asking your own question.
My only comments about items 1-8 are these: There is no such thing as microscopic condom defects that can result in HIV transmission. If the condom doesn't break wide open, protection is complete. Second, the exposures you describe are entirely safe with respect to HIV. Even if your partner has HIV -- which is statistically unlikely, for the resons you state yourself -- you were not at risk from these events. (Frankly, I don't see what is so "disgusting" about all this -- but that's irrelevant to the risks for HIV.)
In summary, there is no signficant risk of HIV here. Assuming you are not otherwise at risk for HIV, there is no need for testing.
I hope this has been helpful. Best wishes and stay safe-- HHH, MD
