Am I at risk of getting HIV?
I had sex with the prostitute (used condom but touched by genital after removing condom) Her test was target not detected from HIV 1 RNA Quantitative, real time PCR test after 5 days, and negative from 4th gen antigen/antibody test. My doctor said I am not at any risk of getting HIV and even I don't need to get tested but anxiety is killing me.
My doctor also said that even if I had unprotected sex with her, i would not be on risk since HIV is only transmittable if it’s seen on some ones blood.
Since you had protected sex you had safe sex so no risk for hiv

I touched my penis head after removing the condom. Also the condom was bit loose. Does her HIV status and her undetected viral load concludes that she was also not contagious at time? Also other stds test were also negative.

Hiv is one of those things that has a lot of anxiety around it. But it's also a studied disease. We know how people get it and it is well documented. The ways that people get HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV drug needles. You used a condom which means that you were protected against HIV.
I will say that I'm not sure what your doctor meant though. If you had unprotected sex, there is a low risk of getting HIV. The statistic that HIV expert doctors use is less than 1 percent with a single unprotected sex exposure. But that is still a risk. It's in all bodily fluids such as vaginal fluid or sperm as well as blood. Maybe your doctor meant that JUST having unprotected sex does not mean you get HIV but that the other person would have to be positive. ?? I don't know. You can clarify with them. But for the purpose of your exposure, you did not have a risk. hope that helps.

Also, touching the condom to genital does not transmit the Virus. Air inactivates it and transmission happens INSIDE the host (vagina or anus) not outside.

Will her viral load test and hiv test concludes that she was not contagious at that time?
You must be very anxious because you haven't understood any of the answers and just keep asking the same thing over and over. For instance "My doctor also said that even if I had unprotected sex with her, i would not be on risk since HIV is only transmittable if it’s seen on some ones blood."
Reread then move on.
