A risk is a risk and the only way to know your status is by testing. 3 months post exposure is when you can obtain your conclusive negative test result.

Chances for female to male 1/2000. Higher for male to female and some evidence suggests subtype e (prevalent in SE Asia) has a higher transmission rate. Evidence not conclusive though.
Circumcision lowers the males chances.
