If his report is confirmed, then you should take 6 months prophylaxis along with ELISA RNA HIV test type 1 & 2 Both. And repeat the test after 6 months.

"In clinical practice, we categorize HIV risk based on the specific type of exposure. For a patient who engaged in oral sex and protected anal sex (condom used), the risk of HIV transmission is considered extremely low to negligible, provided the condom did not break or slip. While Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is highly effective, it is a significant 28-day medication course with a high side-effect profile; therefore, its prescription is usually reserved for higher-risk exposures
Next Steps
Window Period Testing: To be 100% certain, you should perform a 4th Generation HIV Ag/Ab Combo test at 4 weeks post-exposure, and a final confirmatory test at 3 months.
Comprehensive STI Screening: Even when HIV risk is low, other STIs like Syphilis, Gonorrhea, or Chlamydia can still be transmitted. A full screening is recommended for peace of mind.
PrEP Education: If you anticipate having regular partners where risk might vary, discuss Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)—a daily pill that prevents infection—with your doctor for future protection.
Health Tips
while your concern is valid, the protective measures you took (the condom) were very effective.
Book a consultation today to discuss if you truly need PEP and to schedule your follow-up testing so you can move forward with confidence."
