Condom protected sex is low risk, and many female "escorts" (expensive sex workers by appointment) are health conscious and have low HIV and STI frequencies. So this was a safe exposure, with little or no risk of HIV, hepatitis, or other STIs. Presence or absence of symptoms doesn't mean anything good or bad. Negative HIV test more than 6 weeks exposure proves you didn't catch HIV.

Agree with Dr. H. If you have any concerns, your doctor can test you for syphilis and hepatitis infections with a blood test.
