possible HIV exposure?????

Hi, I'm a male, mid 20's. I had unprotected sex with a women friend that I have had sex with before (new years, i was pretty drunk). It's been 3 days and i can't stop thinking about my poor decision :( We did use a condom at first, but it broke.... The first time we had sex, I got tested for HIV at about 2 months, maybe 2 1/2 months and was Negative. 3 days ago we had sex and i feel i should test again. Only because she said she had sex with her ex boyfriend of a year. I asked her if she and her ex bf were clean, and she said YES. She said she was "tested" after her and her ex bf last had sex and she said he was clean also. Although I believe her I guess, I'm still worried :(

What are the chances of me catching hiv or anything from her, given that she had sex with her ex boyfriend (assuming no condom of course).

She keeps telling me to calm down because I have been bugging her everyday about it, non-stop (which i can understand can get annoying). and she said she is sad because i think poorly of her (for asking her all the time).

I'm going to get tested this time again at about 6 weeks..

Can someone offer an advice, statistics, or something? Please?
thank you in advance! I'm deeply worried... :(

6 week test a good indication, 3 months is conclusive.

We don't give odds here because it takes just one time. We start giving out odds then people will think that odds may be low and start having unprotected sex and boom someone gets HIV because of what we said. Not something we want to do.

HIV is not something you guess about and giving odds is just guessing. To know your status you test.

The chances of a guy getting HIV from a girl is less, but not impossible, being that you penetrated her.  It's pretty slim that you got anything from her.  

Testing in 6-8 weeks is indicative, but not conclusive.  Honestly, though, take a deep breath because there's no use in worrying now.  I know it's easier said than done, but hang in there.  

Get tested in 3 months.  Chances are it'll be the same as your test in 6 weeks.

No, I haven't tested yet for this exposure...
I tested negative at 2 months about 6 months ago when we FIRST had sex. This incident I'm speaking of that I am inquiring insight about happened 3 days ago...

Chances are u didn't catch HIV.  3 months is conclusive. A negative test at 6 weeks is an excellent indication of status. U tested negative at. 2 months. I seriously doubt you caught HIV. Your risk was low.
