Protected sex with a prostitute in Zimbabwe

Hie, I feel awful to say this but l committed one silly mistake when l recently travelled to Zimbabwe in Africa on a UN mission. I have a couple of friends l made in Zimbabwe and we had a night out at a bar and brothel in Harare 3 days ago. I had a couple of drinks and l danced with a prostitute. We went to the back rooms and l started to finger her. I usually bite my nails. I fingered her and then she got a condom and put it on me. Since l was struggling to maintain an erection l had difficulty in actually having sex with her and at times l would not properly penetrate and she had to guide me I, in 1 or 2 minutes l ejaculated and she got my penis out rolled off the condom and wiped me off with a tissue. She rolled me on another condom and l tried to have a second round but failed as l was not erect and decided to end it all. I have been having nightmares and anxiety and stress for the last couple of days. I was not fully erect on both occasions and on the last round the condom slipped a bit to cover about half the penis as l was not hard  but l am sure the head of the penis was covered. My foreskin never rolled back on both instances and we did not have rigorous sex with little penetration as l was not hard. I am now scared about catching HIV from this one time encounter and scared because l also fingered her the entire time putting my fingers and pulling them out frequently but not for long. I am reaaly scared l went to a doctor on Monday morning and he said l was at no risk at all and there was no need to put me up on PEPs. He recommended that if l need peace of mind l come through in 2 weeks time and have a test done for HIV. He says that test will be conclusive. He said there was also no risk for stis given the encounter but if need be l will have tests done for stis in 2 weeks too although l will have another test for stis at 4 weeks after exposure to conclude.

My questions are:

1. Did l get HIV from this encounter or other STIs l never kissed her that l am sure just played with one boob only. There was little body contact and l was on top of her the entire time.
2. The doctor said there are now advanced tests which detect HIV at 2 weeks and they are conclusive if l take it there is little need for a retest. What is your take.
3. I haven't had any symptoms as yet but l been checking myself at every opportunity l get.
4 The doctor also said these prostitutes are also afraid of hiv and they try to be safe always and so the risk is little if she had me use condoms as they are experienced in condom use. Is this true.

Please help l am dying of stress l cant eat and sleep.

Hiv isn't a concern, since your gland and ureatha were protected at all times and it sounds like any exposure to any unprotected part of the shaft was brief very low risk for herpes and syphilis, hpv. I tend to agree with your doctor. You will be fine my friend
