Thank you all for your input! I appreciate it! I feel that testing will make me feel better. I know oral relatively no risk but I just can't forgive myself for the anal, I just don't know what to think about it even though it was protected :-(. Thank you.
The best thing to do if you are concerned is to get tested. I highly doubt you had any exposure from what you posted, but being tested will make you feel a lot better.

Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
According to many responses on this forum- oral sex is no risk whatsoever for HIV. Neither is anal/vaginal sex if it is protected, such as your encoutner. Now, if the condom broke, that may be something to be concerned about as there is a potential risk, but you seem to have made the right decision by wearing protection which puts you at no risk for HIV.
