Brief Answer:
Get it repeated after 6 weeks.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is not necessary that you will always contract HIV if you have got your condom rupture during sex with a sex worker.
However, the tests done are normal, still i would recommend a retesting after 4-6 weeks of exposure.
I can state here that the symptoms you are experiencing are just because of anxiety.
You should stop thinking about the episode. If it is possible, you can request the sex worker to get tested for HIV and get her status checked.
So, get it repeated after 4 more weeks and write back to me.
I hope it helps.
Stay healthy.
