Hello
As you stated that 2 days back you had sex oral as well as vaginal .
I want to tell you that oral sex is a much less mode of HIV transmission , virtually no chance of getting HIV infection by this rout.
Now about vaginal sex , but you mentioned that sex was a PROTECTED and after act condom was INTACT then why , you are worrying .
If every precaution was taken then no chance of getting HIV infection.
After reading of your query I will not recommend any test .
But ,since you are under pressure and in tension, so to be absolutely sure you need to do the tests at 90 days & when it comes NEGATIVE then only you can be declared HIV negative.
However , antibodies to HIV begin to appear within 2-3 weeks .
Rapid nucleic acid amplification P 24 pcr rna tests advised but after 2 weeks of initial contract.
Hope you will feel relaxed .
Good luck.
