Yearly HIV testing.: Unprotected sex is always risky. Your risk sounds low but still existent. HIV symptoms are "flu-like". There is a also a "window period" in which the test result is negative after infection for several weeks (depending on the test). I suggest using condoms from now on and have yourself tested for HIV once a year if your sexual behavior causes you to question your safety.

Risky behavior: Risk with unprotected intercourse, testing can be done to rule out infections, best to use protection.

Get tested: At your age, even folks who don't date at all usually get tested for HIV yearly. If this is your only contact, you'll test negative -- the risk is basically zero for this event even if had HIV. Even if you test positive, it's not a death sentence any more. Race is not a factor in HIV risk. I hope you'll cherish having shared love, imperfect as human love always is. Play safe and best wishes.
