Well, in case of oil-based lubricants, the performance of condoms can't be guaranteed. But this is my personal opinion.

You don't even need testing since you were never exposed to HIV by protected sex. But if you still want to get tested, then you will have hic 1/2 antibody test at the end of 12 week and this will be %100 conclusive.
