Possible HIV risk

this could just be like hypochondria or something but lately i've been worrying about the chance of having HIV. like i'm pretty paranoid as it is and i nromaly make a habit of using condoms during sex but the last 2 times i hadnt, there was no release on the guys part but still i've had sex with the one before and my results came back negative. i can't help worring about it and the other one told me he gets tested regularly. and yeah I know people say stuff like that and they could be lying but is there still a chance i may have it even if there was no fluids exchanged? im getting tested in 2 days, if it comes back positive would i still be able to have children without spreading it or have sex using condoms and limit the risk for the guy?

You had unprotected sex, the only way to know your status is by testing.

You're female, yes?

The chances of catching HIV from a single unprotected sex act if he was HIV+ is 1/1000 (probably less than this since he didn't ejaculate).  

If you use a condom, HIV can't infect the other person.

To have a baby, there's artificial insemination and medications you can take to keep it from spreading to the child, but I don't know a lot about either of these topics.

I highly doubt you'll have to worry about it anyways.  HIV prevalence in the general pop (not gay / not drug user / not prostitute) is somewhere around 1 in 1000.
