1) Yes, the DSC Clinic is a good place to go to from the cost point of view and the thorough examination etc. But remember this: DSC Clinic, or any registered doctor in Singapore for that matter, is required by law to report to Ministry in case of HIV positive results.
I suggest if you can, make your way to some of the specialist hospitals across the border in Malaysia where confidentiality is less of an issue—just to be KS. They can also give you treatment for other STIs/STDs.
Alternately, you can do everything at the DSC Clinic except the HIV test, which if you don't want to do in Malaysia, you can do at the Action For Aids Anonymous Testing times.
2) Specific to HIV. In the case of the statistically really rare instance of infection upon first time exposure, in the first week or more before seroconversion, there is a test called a PCR which can be done to reduce your worries. This is a test that specifically seeks out the count of the HIV. If it's after seroconversion, you have to take the other test, which is the more accurate one because it actually tests for the antibodies that come after primary infection. Count of antibodies here don't matter. As long as there's even one such antibody, that means tio already. The times for seroconversion, which are the times for more accurate testing, are 45 days after exposure, 90 days, and 180 days. They get progressive less worrying and when you get across 180, you are more or less 100%.
3) In my experience, kena STI in GL before not because of condom break but more likely the BBBJ or just the damn bed or mattress or towel not clean enough. The BBBJ—sometimes the girl didn't wash properly after the previous guy.
4) Durex so bad one ah? And not as thin and nice as Okamoto or Sagami some more. Don't waste money on that, is what I say. Some more doesn't not feel anywhere near as good as Okamoto or Sagami.
Anyways, I must chime in with most of the wise brothers here: odds are you are OK la.
