I'm not totally sure I follow your question. Practically, if her tests for HIV she cannot transmit the infection (there is some internet misinformation regarding transmission during a so-called "window" period when a person's tests are not infected but for practical purposes, this is a non-issue). If her tests are negative, I would not be worried.
FYI, the prevalence of HIV among American women is a small fraction of 1%. On average, if you were expose to an HIV infected women with unprotected vaginal intercourse, your risk for infection, on average would be less than 1 infection per more than 2000 sex acts. Considering the brevity of your vaginal encounter and the low risk nature of your partner, as I noted, I would not be worried about HIV.
Your risks for gonorrhea or chlamydial infection from this brief, low risk encounter are very small. Your tests at 5 days will be conclusive for both bacterial and when they are negative, it is a good sign that your partner was unlikely to have HIV
Normally we would close this thread now that I have provided three responses however in that I had trouble following your final question, I will leave the thread open so that you can provide clarification if need be.
