Protected anal sex

A few days I engaged in protected anal sex with another guy, I topped and bottomed as well. My question is concerning is there a risk of Hiv from this encounter if the condom indeed stayed intact and was not ripped at all. I checked the condom numerous times during the encounter. And also having the condom slide up a little on the shaft of the penis while performing anal sex a high risk is it possible for something to get through that route.
I need some reassurance of what kind of risk this places me at. And if testing is warranted.

And to clarify, it is this site's stance, based on studies and our own MedHelp experts (all of whom are world-renowned for their work in this field), that oral sex carries no risk for HIV.

What about giving and receiving unprotected oral, I'm hearing different views sayings its low risk or no risk.
