Do I need to test?

I am a male and about a month ago I engaged in condom protected anal (receptive) but unprotected oral both giving and receiving. This was the first time I re engaged with MSM in years. We both discussed HIV status and to the best of our knowledge we assumed that we are both negative, since neither of us has been tested in years .
I remember him donning a condom before penetration. Water based lube was used and half way through the sex, due to a position change he reassured me that the rubber was still on and I verified this fact. After we were done he removed the condom and I checked it for potential leaks. None were apparent. He ejaculated on the bedsheet.
I have not experienced any symptoms so far, yet anxiety is keeping me awake at night and I am coming up with scenarios that somehow I was at risk.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I hope you're right.
I tend to become paranoid but that is a mental issue and I need to separate known facts from irrational thinking.
Thanks again

You never had an exposure. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex and your other sex was protected.
