Evaluating the risk. And Testing. TEAK answer please.

Hi, first of all i am sorry for my bad english.
Here is the case :
3 weeks ago, I had vaginal intercourse with an african sex worker. We used her condom and her lubricant. I googled the condom, seems to be a good one. However, i don't know if the lube was oil or water based, consequently I am stressing all the day.
4 days after exposure I went to the doctor, I had at that time penile pain and some redness on the urethra opening as i was overly touching it. I also had a little mouth ulcer (I don't know if it really is an ulcer).
The doc told me to have a test the same week so i had one and all was negative (Gonorreha, chlamydia, syphilis, hiv etc..)
Few days after that, no penile pain anymore. No mouth ulcer but red spots on the tongue.
I went to another doctor, he saw the red spots, told me that i had no risk (i did not tell him about the lube issue) and that he is quite sur i am hiv -. However for my own peace of mind he asked me if i would like to have another test i said yes. I will have this test next week (4 weeks after exposure), i guess it will be negative.
Should I wait for the three months window period ? (Here in France 6 weeks are suffisent)
Did i had a risk ? If not, why the first doc even told me to have the test ?
I am lost
REALLY LOST !

P.S : Assuming, she used  oil based lube and that she is pos, i remarked that the head of the penis was still covered and that the semen stayed in the condom. I don't remember if we leaved the inch on the top of the condom.
I don't even know if i used the condom properly. What is more stressful is that she failed to put the condom at the first time so i asked her to change the condom and she said "no need" but I insisted.
WHAT WERE HERE INTENTIONS ? WHAT TO DO ????

Your Doctor is right, you have no exposure. Stop thinking about HIV and get on with your life. And we are not expecting any more comments from you for this no exposure situation.

But what do you think of the situation i describes ?
Espécially that i don"t know if the condom was oil based (probably he was)
In addition to this, the intercourse lasted like 15 minutes (only vaginal)
And i Felt like my urethra opened a little and that was the moment il started to feel pain. Still, the semences was Still in the condom when i removed it...

You had protected sex. It carries no risk of hiv transmission. You had no risk. As long as the condom did not break, you were safe.

You had no risk of HIV since you had protected sex using a condom.

What do you mean by the condom was not properly used ? As long as the condom covered the head of your penis, IT WAS protected.

Now, you've received your negative result. (Not a surprise, as you HAD NO risk). Trust your result and move on. We're sorry if you're still anxious. Perhaps a face to face session with a therapist might do you a world of good. I believe there's nothing more to add. Be well.
