THe question of the disputated paternity can only be setteled by the dna testing of the baby & your husband. Otherwise there is no any test to confirm towards whom paternity goes.
BUt cosidering the whole of your story , which say you had a one night stand on 6th jan & you had a lmp on 21st of jan there is no question of the pregnancy getting caused by that event.
If that night stand would have been the reason for the pregnancy you would have not menstruated at all after that act. As you have got periods after that event there should not be doubt of the father of the baby. The father must be the one with whome you had an intercourse after your periods are over.

So if no need for the above said testing if you are sure about the things.
