Risk assessment please

I had an MSM encounter 7 days ago at a video store, in the booth which is separated by partitions. I was in the insertive role throughout this encounter. It began with oral through the partition which was rough/too close to my head (i am very sensitive in that area) and didn't feel good. I pulled out, both to take a break from that and to get a better look at the guy.

I resumed and put my penis back through the hole in the partition where I finished in what I believe to be his mouth. The problem I am having is that i recall the smell of poop, however the feeling on my penis wasn't of a butt hole but of a mouth (they're distinct sensations for your penis).

As I was leaving, I went into the restroom to look at my penis. I did not see remnants of poop on my penis like one would imagine with that smell and having been the insertive partner, however I noticed 3-4 dark marks on the head (circumsized) which I believe to be bite marks; as it was rough in the beginning. My skin didn't break during this encounter, and they expanded a little bit then faded and are hardly noticeable now.

What has been giving me anxiety is, if it was anal then it would have been unprotected. I cannot explain the poop smell unless he just had really terrible breath. I realize the risk for STI's and I will be testing for this and will continue to monitor any symptoms. While those are manageable, however, my concern HIV. I spoke to an HIV counselor this morning and explained the situation and he didn't believe the encounter was anything but oral, and set me up with an appointment for next Monday, which would be the 14 day mark. I know this facility has the resources for this type of testing that soon.

My nerves are getting the best of me here, I'm interested in your take on this.

Thanks in advance doctors.

Well, no one else can guess what happened, so you're the best judge.  It seems unlikely that you would have failed to notice the difference between a mouth and an anus.  If it was just oral, you had no risk.  However, if you're concerned that you had unprotected anal sex, you can simply have a DUO test at 28 days.

Thanks. Yeah I realize it sounds funny that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I know I would have been able to, but I think my mind is playing tricks on me at this point.

I intend to follow through with the 14 day test as scheduled. However, it would be nice to go into it knowing what test I am receiving and how conclusive it would be. Note that this test was scheduled by the HIV counselor after hearing my story. Any resources I can look into that might explain in laymans terms?
