Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Based on your data , having protected sexual intercourse, even with a HIV positive partner( with 2 condoms), I think you shouldn't worry because there is no risk for HIV.
So, there is not necessary to get a HIV test.
Furthermore, you should know that RNA-PCR is not recommended as a test to define your HIV status.Usually we recommend a 4 th generation HIV test after 4-6 weeks .

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
