Don't Guess: Don't guess, just get tested. Testing is simple and often free at health departments. Your risk probably is low but it is not zero, so getting tested is your best bet.

Need to get tested: Use of protection (condom) decreases your risk but not to zero. You should get tested in my opinion if only for piece of mind and to do a good thing for your future partners. There are also a number of venereal diseases as well as hepatitis c that are transmitted sexually. You should see a doctor asap.

PRETTY LOW: If you used protection meaning a condom and you used it correctly the chances are quite low. You can ask you doctor for an HIV test to hel feel more secure.
