Worried Sick and depressed!! after exposure

Hi, This is totally wrong from my end. I met a girl on a bus when traveling. someway somehow we talked and stared at each other all through the way. We exchanged contact and after 2 months, we met and had unprotected sex. I am also married. When intercourse was about to occur. She said to me, if I like i can use a condom. I felt I could trust her, because we previously talked about STDs before we met. We talked a lot before we met about how careful each of us are and we don't want to be infected with any form of STD and we both have families to protect. After the rush and having had sex about 3 to 4 times over the night. The next morning, I felt this guilt of unforgiveness and foolishness. I tried the next day to ask her if he had any lover aside from her husband again. She said no, she didn't have any other lover except the husband and I want to be sure she didn't have unprotected sex with another person and that if we can both get tested. She got angry and we fought over the issue. Now I am worried people. I am so scared of out of my mind of contracting anything from this woman. By the way. She has a 9 month old baby as well. This exposure happened in Austria(Europe). Give or take, what are my chances of contracting HIV? I care deeply for my wife and I love her so much. This is just a selfish act to satisfy the skin which I have deeply regreted and feel ashame. I just dont want risk the health of my wife by infecting her with something deadly as HIV. I wish I can undo the deeds. I am just scared out of my mind about HIV and infecting my wife.

I am waiting to take a DUO test at 30 days. It's been 17 days since my exposure. Will a DUO test be conclusive at 30 days ?

Hi, we dont go by chances but exposure and you were exposed. Test at 3 months post exposure would be conclusive.
