HIV related
Recently in the month of oct 2017 i had an encounter with an escort on one of my international trips where we had intercourse and we did it with condom. I am in good health and dont have any bleeding outlet or pores on or near my genitals. The escort also seemed to be in great health and shape. We had sex in the protection of condom for kost of the activity but for the final 2 to 4 mins of the activity, the condom had slipped away. I did not cum within her.. i did it outside of her. I am now a little bit too worried if I've contracted HIV although we both had washed ourself thoroughly post the act. What do you suggest now I should do? Which test should i take to confirm my sexual health and when should I get tested.?

It's better safe than sorry I guess. Usually a HIV test after four weeks of contact should be done. And another repeat test after 3 months of contact to confirm the results are usually done. You can visit a doctor for detailed information and examination if you feel like. The most adequate test for HIV is Western blot test. Also there are others like tridot and Elisa. However I would suggest that you consult a doctor for your peace of mind.
