Condom Protected Sex

I made a huge mistake about 4.5 weeks ago. I slept with an escort from Backpage. I had protected vaginal intercourse with her. The condom did not break or slip off. I have taken a gonn,clamydia,syphillis, hepC and HepB test at 4 weeks all negative. I have also had a rapid HIV test at 4 weeks negative. I am waiting on my results of my HIV duo test at 4 weeks.
What is the chances that I have contracted HIV from this encounter? I am from Houston. I have been trying to calm down as I see everyone even the Dr.'s previous posts say condom protected sex is not a risk but seem to have HIV on my mind constantly. With a negative rapid test being maybe 90% accurate at 4 weeks does that lower my chances of having caught anything?

I recieved my 4th Genration Test results taken 28 days post incident.  The results were Non-Reactive From what I have read a Freedom Health and previous Dr's post on this site, it appears that I can move on and put this mistep behind me. Thank you all for being a sounding board to voice my concerns.

No risk if you had protected sex with condom. No need to test; but as you did it will be negative and conclusive.

ZERO!!!  Protected sex if the condom was in tact is exactly that.  PROTECTED!!!  You never needed testing.
