Looking for expert opinion

Hi,

I encountered an intercourse with a prostitute on October 10, 2023 at a spa massage center. I was wearing a condom from the beginning and I found out that the condom was slipped during intercourse when I pulled out. The woman pulled out the condom with her fingers and told me it had not gone much far inside of her vagina. But I was frustrated and went to public clinic next day (October 11th, 2023) and explained the scenario to a doctor. The doctor told me that I do not to need to worry and since I asked she did a HIV rapid test and some other tests for other STIs. All the tests came negative but they were all taken even before 24 hours after the exposure. I received PEP for 28 days. Honestly, I was not very good with pill intake timing. I missed two doses on two separate days but I took the doses as soon as I remembered them. None of those doses were delayed more than 36 hours. And I took other doses in the morning and at night as prescribed (but wasn't puntual). After completing the PEP course, I was asked to come for a test on October 22, 2023. Another doctor visited me this day. After going through my file, two blood samples were taken for HIV Serology test and Syphilis. I was told that I will be getting my results on next week. What I want to know is how bad things can go south for me with the things happened around me? What is the possibility of getting other STIs that my doctor did not test on me?

Note : I didn't get any fever, rash or any symptoms over this time period.

If the condom slipped off when you were withdrawing your penis, you were NEVER at risk for HIV. Only the head of your penis needs to be covered during intercourse.  You didn't need PEP or testing, but your test proves you didn't get HIV.

Questions about STDs will have to be answered in that forum. This is a major holiday week for people in the US, so you might have to wait awhile if some members who answer questions are away from the forums.
