HIV risk
Hi everyone,
Its my first time on this forum but I would like to ask the community about my particular circumstance regarding hiv.
I had oral and a very brief vaginal intercourse session with a CSW in South Africa with a condom. My anxiety comes from the fact that I heard a popping sound during the oral and while we did engage in 30 seconds of vaginal intercourse there-after I decided to pull out and check the condom - it appeared very much intact and I took it off after which I tied it and threw it away. I did not do the water test but there were no evident holes. Afterwards I lost my excitement and just got dressed and went home - I did not ejaculate.
My anxiety is about this popping sound and the risk of contracting hiv - as South Africa has a big issue with this STI. It has been 7 days and while it is still early I feel fine on all accounts with no signs and symptoms but yea it take 2-6 weeks anyways for serconvention...
Any input would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Thank you James for your quick response.
It may very well be that I am being OCD about this. I was scared that a hole formed at the tip where my urethra was and hiv could of infiltrated the mucuous membrane area.
I will continuous my regular screenings for all STI's and use condoms from beginning to end.
