Brief Answer:
The risk is very unlikely.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

You had sexual encounter with stranger without protection for only 2 mintues then the risk of any STI is very unlikely with such short exposure even if your partner was positive for any STI.

As such no test is required but for ur satisfaction you can go for 4th generation or RNA PCR test at Apollo diagnostics or Dr. Lal path lab in Bengluru to confirm your status but nothing to worry at all.
