Found out I've had unprotected sex with a sex worker

Hi, I hope you can help me figure out how high my risk is.

I met a man on a dating website. Went out with him a few times and we ended up having unprotected sex (which I realize was incredibly foolish). At any rate, I have subsequently discovered that he is a sex worker, who provides services to both male and female clients.

I have had sex with him three times. Once, he ejaculated inside me without protection. Most of our interaction involved oral sex, and he only ejaculated once during any of our sexual activity.

I do not know his HIV status, however he is obviously a high risk person since he is involved with both MSM and sex work. He appears outwardly to be a healthy individual, with no signs of IV drug use.

Thank you so much for your advice.

Your 3 month post exposure test will be conclusive.

I've been having a hard time sleeping in the meantime. Can you help me assess my risk level while I wait to get tested? I do not plan on continuing this behavior.

Thank you

ricky id thats not the point- PEP should only be given it an exposure with a KNOWN carrier.  yes its supposed to be given within 72 hours but the fact has to be established first HIV positive or not, then the time issue becomes relevant and not the other way around

Yes it would be a point in assessing a person as to if they qualify for nPEP.
