two weeks ago, i (female) had sex with a new partner. He was not allowed to touch me without a condom, so The whole time was protected by the condom. However, tragedy occurred that after he withdrew from me, we noticed the condom was not on his penis, but half inside my vagina and half hung outside. He did not cum thought coz he couldn’t. i got freaked out and asked his STD and HIV status, and he said he was clean. Even he is a doctor, i just cannot trust him due to my anxiety nature. So what is my risk? If i want to get a test, how many weeks should I wait? Thank you!

Glad to hear he washed. I'm also 100% clean, just washed. My HIV status doesn't make me unclean.
Anyhow, nothing he says or claims means anything.
his STD
Regarding other STIs, this is an HIV forum, but even if condoms are used consistently & correctly you still would be at risk for STIs.
In short, most STIs are far more infectious than HIV and the levels of protection condoms offer for various STIs depend significantly on differences in how the diseases or infections are transmitted. Some infections (Not HIV) are transmitted primarily by skin-to-skin contact, viral shredding or skin-to-lesion contact, etc., which may infect areas not covered by a condom, such as genital herpes, human papillomavirus [HPV], Chancroid (Haemophilus ducreyi) etc.
It's safer sex, not safe. No need to panic though every time you have sex, just keep using condoms and get a routine STI screening yearly. Talk to your doctor about vaccinations against HPV, hepatitis A and hepatitis B.

He didn't hold onto the base of the condom whilst pulling out, that's the mistake.
Anyhow, I see no HIV risk from what you posted here.
Relax and move on with your life.
Here's what you need to know to reduce your HIV risks:
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse correctly and consistently, with no exceptions. Consider talking to your healthcare provider about PrEP as an additional layer of protection against HIV
Keep in mind that some sexual practices described as safe in terms of acquiring HIV still pose a risk for other easier-acquired STIs. So please do get tested at least yearly for STIs, including but not limited to HIV, and more frequently if condomless intercourse occurs.
Also, note that it is possible to have an STI and show no signs or symptoms; testing is the only way to know.
Kind regards
