Get answer now: Whether your chance of being infected is large or small, you need an answer now. Get with your physician and be ready to pay for a pcr assay for the virus in your bloodstream. That should settle it. If obsessive worry still is a problem afterwards, your physician can advise you of tricks to overcome it. Glad you're proactive and good luck.
