Please help me I am bit confused with trichomoniasis vaginalis

I need your suggestions and help

I live in India. (1) 33 days ago I had sex with a bar girl using condom in Congo (worked there). this sex for only 4 minutes and when we finished, she carefully removed condom from my penis and disposed it away. (2) Again 14 days  ago when I was drunk I had sex with other bar girl using condom. she kept condom to my penis and we had sex, she was on top of me and i had kissed her just lip to lip. i did not inserted my tongue into her mouth neither she. when we finished sex she got up from me went into bathroom to clean. I got up and removed the condom but i did not look whether that condom is punctured or not. her vagina fluids was on my testicals, thighs . when i removed the condom i did not remember whether the penis came in contact with her vaginal fluids or not. after this i cleaned my self using water.

three days after second time sex I felt itching in my penis and some itching on my legs below knees. other than these symptoms i don't have any other symptoms. I went to doctor for testing (they dont have much equipment for testing any STDS) and he asked to take urine test And to my bad luck I have been tested with trichomoniasis vaginalis . now I am very much worried. because in different literature it says that this virus only transmitted through sex but in some papers it says condoms may not safe from getting trichomoniasis vaginalis virus (LIKE CDC website). so this means it can also get by external contact like fluids. Actually I don not know what to do. do you think i will get positive for HIV even after using condom. what are possibilities to live HIV in vaginal fluids outside the the body.
how i can know whether i am infected or not in early stage. please help me i am dip-pressed and i am unable to sleep in the nights because of this.

when they told that I have trichomoniasis vaginalysis infection. so I took two type of tablets one is Doxycycline and other one is metranidazole (because that these tablets cures  for chlamydia, gonnorhea and trp. vaginalis). from the next day I started them, I have itching in my body like some bubbles are coming out of my body and also I have some brown spots on my body (palms, fingers, hands). I continued the tablets for 5 days as my doc prescribed. i Have stopped them 4 days ago still I can feel like itching some time. is these are the side effects of the tablets I used or symptoms of  HIV. I have been worried and in bit stress. I want to go for HIV test but they said that they cud not confirm anything before 3 months.

please give infromation. If I am infected I want to be prepared for that. I have two small kids I dont want to distrub their carrier.

I have searched in internet and it says that after 9-14 days of exposure of HIV PCR RNA DNA test can detect things.

Your Trich diagnosis has nothing to do with HIV at all.  You didn't have a risk for HIV, and you don't need testing.  HIV is not transmitted by exposure to genital fluids of a partner, even if they make contact with cuts, abrasions, etc.  Transmission of HIV happens INSIDE the body, via unprotected vaginal or anal sex. As for the condom, when they break, you cannot miss it.  Worrying after the fact is a condom was broken is anxiety speaking.  Time to forget about this encounter...you didn't have an HIV risk.
