HIV.sex with csw in Australia

Hi everyone, I need your help for my hiv status. sorry about my English.
I'm a oversea student in Australia from Taiwan. recently Im very stupid to had sex with two different incall girl(csw) in the city, which is over 90days from first sex and over 7 weeks from the last sex. After last sex I read information about HIV it makes me very nervous and scare think I infect HIV then I bought a lots home test kit online(most of them are ICARE HIV1&2 RAPID SCREEN TESTER, and few BLUECROSS ONE STEP RAPID TEST) some still on shipping don't know what brand. anyway, I started test from last sex :  3 weeks, 4 weeks,twice at 5weeks (2 different brand test kit), 6weeks and 7weeks it all came back negative, makes me feel little better from most people says 6weeks result is unlikely to change( i knew conclusive is 3 months)

However recently I have read that Icare hiv test kit are not FDA approved home test, the only approved is Ora-quick so it makes me freak out again. is that all my test that i did before means nothing?  so i came here for your helps.

My Question:
1. how reliable is ICare HIV home test kit tested at 7 weeks even FDA unapproved kits
( Icare has TUV  GMP  IOS13485 certificate W.H.O.USAID recommend. Product of JAL Innovation(Singapore) Pte Ltd)
what's different between clinic's rapid test and home rapid self test?

2.am I in high risk of infect hiv that I changed a condom during sex and maybe my hand touch the girl's Vaginal secreta from outside old condom, then I touch my penis with Vaginal secreta when changing new condom? (she also did oral sex for me too with condom)

3. Have you ever seen somebody return a positive test from this type of exposure?
thank you every every much. if you can answer for me please.

I knew that no hiv home test kit are available sale in Australia, I got the Icare and other test kit from outside Australia, took long time to ship to Australia. anyway you think I'm not at risk at all? No need for any test? so I can move on this? (It's my last post) thank you for all your reply.

Oraquick is not available in Australia and you never had an exposure that needs testing.

So the test kits are not FDA approved, does it means the tests That I took before were invalid? I will go clinic for 3month mark, I think they only do hiv rapid test here, not Elisa test. is that reliable? 0r should I need buy some oraquick that FDA approved test kit, test my self?

1. Not FDA approved.

You never had an exposure.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
