What are the chances of me having HIV?

           It has been about 6 weeks since I have had sexual intercourse/ possibly been exposed to HIV or any other STDs. One main reason that I am concerned is that this was with a high-risk individual( an escort off craigslist) , to be open and honest, "a prostitute". She was also African-American , this concerns me because 80 percent of HIV-positive men and women are black.
        We used a condom, but i wasn't sure if it was used correctly because it had slipped off once or twice. I had asked her if she had been tested, and she replied, "oh yeah honey, i get tested every six months, don't worry you're fine." So basically, you can call it protected sex with a high-risk individual.
What do you think the odds are of me having acquired HIV from this woman?

You didn't have a risk and for you information it isn't the person that is risky it's the actions you take that make the act risky.
