Should I get tested?

Hi All,

I am not sure if I should be worried with going for a test or not? Need help in assessing my risk from people on this board.
I am 26 years old.. for the last 3-4 years, I have visited private escorts in Washington state. I have always exercised extreme care and have never gone for a penetrative intercourse with any of the girls (probably been to 20-25 girls over the years). I have always had : massage, showering together, condom covered blow job, boob sucking, hand job and heavy tongue kissing (a bit worried because of this, if this can cause hiv). I have always made my stance clear to the provider for no intercourse (not even covered intercourse).

I am healthy, but recently having worries if I could have contracted HIV or not.. Do you guys think my actions have even a 1% chance of causing HIV and if I should be worried?
