HIV testing needed or not ?

I had protected sex two times with different sex workers about 3 months back. The condom did not break during both the encounters. I dont seem to have any signs of any symptoms. Assuming the sex workers had HIV infection is testing for HIV needed ?

I am not sure if testing is warranted or not for such exposures?

What if it was a novelty condoms ? I dont know if they were latex or novelty condoms. Do most of the people use latex condoms.

If you are positive that the latex you  rolled on, did not break, then get out of any worries. Protected sex rally means protected, even if your partner was a confirmed "positive". Your few micron thick latex is strong enough to protect you from HIV and other STD's unless you do not break it by your own stupid act. That is what the condoms are meant for.

There is no need for any test, since nothing will be picked up in the test, because you yourself did not pick anything from your "paid partner".
