Chances of hiv infection after unprotected sex

Hi, I am a 26 year old male, I had unprotected anal sex with a sex worker 6 weeks back. And 12 days after exposure I got tonsillitis, I went to the doctor and she prescribed antibiotics, it came down in a week. In the mean time my lymph node was swollen, i had fever, night sweats, i feel my left part of stomach is a  bit swollen. I took a hiv antibody test at 4 weeks after exposure and it came to be negative. I told my doctor about the possible exposure but she asked me to wait for 12 weeks. What are the chances that I have hiv? and do you suggest any test to confirm hiv infection earlier? I read that early diagnosis could help in treatment.

Hi Everyone i recently had anal sex with someone and in the process the condom ripped and we didn’t noticed I’m HIV negative and he says he is and he works as a physical therpaist and he says she needs to get checked regularly for his job but I’m not sure if I believe him also he said he had an HIV test 6 months ago and is always safe which I might believe because he had boxes of condoms,i checked my penis there was no blood and i had no cuts what are my chances of contracting HIV I'm very scared and I haven't been able to sleep or eat in days i was the insertive partner and I believe the condom ripped towards the end but I'm not sure also he got really offended when asked If he could take a rapid HIV test since he believes he's negative. i will get an HIV test at 3 months and 6 as wells but I'm really scared
