Possible HIV exposure, very concerned
Hello everyone, I was in a situation recently that has given me some concern about possible HIV/STD exposure.
I am a male, always been with women but decided I wanted to try something with another guy. I met him online, and after chatting for a while went to his place. I performed oral sex on him (PROTECTED, NO EJACULATION) for 30 seconds. Then I received anal sex from him (PROTECTED, NO EJACULATION) for maybe 40 seconds, it felt uncomfortable and slightly painful so I stopped it. There was no ejaculation from either the oral or anal, and the condom was still on him and intact after. He used a water based lubricant. There was no rectal bleeding that I noticed. He said he was negative and recently tested but there's no way to know if that's true.
This was a week ago. Should I be concerned? I spoke to a health care specialist and she said I probably have nothing to worry about. But I would like to get tested for peace of mind. How long should I wait to do this? The stress and anxiety has left be unable to sleep at night or eat anything. its all i think about every day. Thank you all for reading and replying.

That's what other sites have been telling me, which is very reassuring. I just can't shake that feeling in the back of my head though. Will probably get tested anyway for peace of mind. Thank you for responding.
