Q: what are the chances of getting hiv2 from an escort in ontario. tested negative at 2 months with a 4th gen test?

: 0 if escort negative for HIV, nearly none if protection used, otherwise hard to estimate as there are many other unknowns involved. HIV anxiety is likely contributing as well.

Repeat the test at 6 weeks after the episode. A 4th gen Combo test would pick up HIV 2 if you were unfortunate enough to have acquired it. Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
