cunnilingus and protected sex

This is my first post and id appreciate very much for your view and advice on the ordeal that i am in. On the 18th of May, i performed around 10 sec of cunillingus on a CSW(escort service) and proceeded to engage in protected sex with her for about 2 min before guilt set in and i decided to stop without ejaculation. Ive been reading online and am getting quite confused on the risk of hiv through cunilingus. Dr Hunter Hansfield and Dr Hook are of opinion that the risk is too small to worry about and even adviced some of the online members that hiv test is not required if this is the only exposure. My anxiety is really bad as i have a history of panic attacks. Yesterday i took a home hiv test kit and it came out negative, i know this is way too early to be conclusive. What are your thoughts on hiv transmissions through cunnilingus and what tests are available for me to take to give an accurate and conclusive hiv status at around 12 days of potential exposure. 3 months is way too long and i dont know how im going to survive the wait.  A doctor from another site said i should be more worried about the protected sex as condoms are only 85% effective against HIV. Is that true?!??!
Thank you so much for all the advice that you have given.

you're still waiting on "us" to tell you why someone, from another site, said what he did?

can't do it !

the use of latex, polyurethane, and polyisoprene condoms are totally effective against the spread of the hiv virus.

Yes, when you look down you don't see the condom covering you anymore, you see bare penis.

If condoms were 85% effective would anyone really be having sex? They are effective when used properly and do not break.

You did not have a risk from anything. I suggest you seek a therapist for your anxiety because no test is going to help you.
