Risk Assessment Needed

I am a white male, mid-30s, married, circumcised. I'm overcome with anxiety. Yesterday I had unprotected sex with a stripper. During a heated lap dance, she gave me very brief oral sex and my penis intermitently slipped inside her for a few thrusts three seperate times (I pulled out repeatedly, didn't stay inside too long), the last of which I ejaculated inside of her. I immediately pulled out and all told, if you put the total time together I'd say I was inside her or touching her open vagina with the head of my penis for less than two minutes.

It was absolutely stupid and I am sick over it. She assured me that she is clean, hadn't had sex in three months, gets tested regularly, doesn't really sleep around and offered to go with me to a clinic so I could observe her getting tested and see the results. I hope she was being honest, but frankly I don't know the woman so who knows? I decided to take her up on her offer to go together and get tested as I simply can't wait and have to deal with this anxiety for several more months to get a conclusive HIV test. I need to see her results to help calm me down. I will definitely get tested at the appropriate time, but what are the chances that I'm infected? And how long, if at all, should one wait to get STD tests? Can those be taken immediately? Thank you.

I second what has been advised by hope242. When it comes to unprotected penetration, time does not count much. Get yourself tested for HIV after 6 weeks to get a very reassuring results and subsequently a follow up test at 12 week time for a conclusive and final one to throw HIV fears behind you.

It is still a risk even if you didn't "stay inside too long."  You can get tested at 4-6 weeks post exposure for a good indication of your status and follow up at 12 weeks post exposure for a conclusive result. Check with the STD forum for your STD questions
