Possible exposure to HIV/STDS?

Possible HIV/STD exposure
Hello everyone, I was in a situation recently that has given me some concern about possible HIV/STD exposure.
I am a male, always been with women but decided I wanted to try something with another guy. I met him online, and after chatting for a while went to his place. I performed oral sex on him (PROTECTED) for 30 seconds. Then I received anal sex from him (PROTECTED) for maybe 40 seconds, it felt uncomfortable and slightly painful so I stopped it. There was no ejaculation from either the oral or anal, and the condom was still on him and intact after. He used a water based lubricant. There was no rectal bleeding that I noticed. He said he was negative and recently tested but there's no way to know if that's true.
This was a week ago. Should I be concerned? I spoke to a health care specialist and she said I probably have nothing to worry about. But I would like to get tested for peace of mind. How long should I wait to do this? Thank you all for reading and replying.

you did the right thing by using condoms both for oral and anal. by doing this always you can be sure you will be protected against HIV and other STIs
testing is for your piece of mind because there was no risk if the condom didn't fail.
for a person who had a risk, a test should be done at least 3 months from his/her last unprotected encounter.
all the best.

Thank you for your words, they are reassuring. I have not been able to sleep or eat because of the anxiety this has caused me. I hope I can reduce my stress levels soon

Yet again another sleepless night, I can't shake this feeling of despair. I hate living like this, I feel sick to my stomach from the anxiety.
