HIV 6 weeks reliability

Hello Doctor

I had protected sex(twice in the night) with one of the sex workers here in India. I am really worried about being infected with HIV and want to be tested as soon as possible to put an end to my worries. I wanted to know what are the possibilities of catching the infection inspite of using protection and also how soon can i get tested 6 weeks, 3 months alike.

it is written on this forum OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN...that if someone HAD A RISK, that 3 months is when they could receive a conclusive test result.

Thanks a ton Teak, for replying back. Hearing about the chances as None really helps, but i wanna make sure that i even accidently end up ruin some one else's life by being complacent and not being tested. Just wanted to know if a 6 week test will suffice or i will need to get test after 3 months, 6 months and so forth.
