I am a 24 years Indian Male. I dont drink, no drugs.

Hi doctor Hunter,
I made the most dumbest decision of my life which I now regret. I visited an escort on 8 August 2017 in Ireland. She is a Spanish escort. She is listed on a website and looked clean and healthy. I had protected sex ( Penis into vagina penetration) for maybe 3-5 minutes. Nothing else apart from mentioned. The condom remained intact during the entire episode and did not break. Can assess my risk for contracting HIV and other STD?
Today is my 12 day post exposure I don't have symptoms yet. Which test would you suggest me to do?  This is my first unfortunate sex in life. I am  heterosexual and straight.

You're welcome, lambart..........you can stop being scared and anxious now. You do NOT have HIV and NEVER had a risk for it.
I would suggest you spend some time educating yourself about HIV and safe sex. Below are a couple links to sites that explain the basics of HIV. I hope you're able to access them.

As you have been told, your risk for having acquired HIV from this experience is zero and will remain at zero regardless of how often you test. You NEVER had a risk. Test again at 8 weeks if that will give you peace of mind. If it doesn't, I suggest you seek therapy.

Thank You RubyWitch. I am really scared and tense. This is my first sex ever and definitely the last with any escort.

You had zero risk for HIV so don't need to test. Any condom failure results in a large rip so you both would have noticed if that happened.

Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with.
The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make it a risk.

There is an std forum where you can get better answers on std because condom doesn't protect against all std.

Hi AnxiousNomore,

So you are sure I am at no risk for HIV? I am very anxious and spending sleepless nights. Can u tell me about accuracy of p24 antigen and antibody test at 4 weeks. I am also planning to get tested for HIV at 8 and 12 weeks post exposure. I highly appreciate your help.
Tests will be a waste of time and I question if you will accept the results anyway.
The doctors left here years ago by the way, however we rely on the opinion of expert doctors and the CDC.
Thank you AnxiousNoMore. I am very thankful for your expert opinion.
