Please Help! High Anxiety of HIV

Hi Doctors 14 days ago I met a lady who I knew from the internet. I performed an oral sex on her (I bite myself inside of my cheek when I chewing gum the day before. It’s bleeding when I bite myself but I don’t think it’s bleeding when I performed the oral sex her a day later). Then we had sex with a condom for about 3 minutes. I was on the bottom. After my ejaculation she kept moving for about 20 sections and then she stop for 20 seconds. But she when came off from me I found that the condom slipped off and is not on my penis any more it’s in her vagina. I don’t know when it slipped off. She gave the condom to me and I saw the semen was in the condom and the condom is not broken. Then she said she had a little vaginal bleeding after the sex. I start to worry about HIV. Three days later I took her to take a rapid test for HIV and came back as negative. She assured me that she is in the middle of divorce and have not have any sex life in the past three months. But I’m still so scared what if she is not telling me the truth. For the symptom I had a minor sore throat about a week 3 days after the exposure and there may be two swollen lymph nodes on each side of my neck which is just appeared at two weeks. I really scared of get infected of HIV now and cannot eat and sleep. Is this a high risk event for both my oral sex and condom slipped off? What is my possibility to catch HIV from her? If I use 4th generation after 4 weeks is that consider conclusive results? Thank you so much for your response! Sorry for some broken English within the post. Thank you!

Welcome to the forum. Condoms work. Withdrawal of the penis leaving the condom in the vagina is not believed to increase the risk; protection is still considered to be complete. And cunnilingus (oral-vaginal contact) has never been known to transmit HIV. Oral sex in general is low risk; even swallowing HIV infected blood usually would not result in infection. In addition the chance a partner like yours had HIV is very low probably no higher than one chance in a thousand -- and her specific sexual history (recent divorce no sex for the past 3 years) makes it even less likely she is infected. On the basis of your risk I don't even see a need for HIV testing. However you probably should do it anyway: the negative result probably will be more reassuring than anything I can say. A negative duo ("4th generation") HIV test at 4 weeks indeed will be conclusive.
