HIV exposure

Is it true that it is harder for a woman to transmit HIV to a man through vaginal intercourse. I read some inputs and they said its like 1 in 2000. Is that really true?

You were at no risk, assuming the condoms didn't fail.
But in general, condom-protected sex is not 100% safe, because condoms can break.
That is why it is wise to carefully choose your partners.
CSWs may not be such a great idea, especially for high anxiety people like yourself.

Does it matter the no. of times you do it. I had sex twice with different CSW but used condom in both the cases. Is there any slight risk? People have told me that i have no risk and should not bother even getting tested.

But I guess this mind is playing with me

You cannot quantitatively assess risk of transmission like that but it is harder.
