HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The risk of possible HIV transmission has been approximately calculated from pooling different medical studies.
The studies used different methods to the added approximate risk is only a guideline and it estimates the risk of transmission from a person who is positive.
In that case, the risk of transmission from a male to female, in a high income country is 0.08% (1: 1234) for each exposure. This means that 1 out of 1234 women who are sexually active with a male and exposed in each encounter may get the virus from a male with HIV.

Since your partner is not known to be positive, the risk should be lower. The precise risk is not known but it should be very very low.

risk is very low according to numbers mentioned
Detailed Answer:
HI
The fact that both of you are fine after 6 years is good and also reduces the risk.
There are a small group of persons who have minimal symptoms but most would have symptoms after a few years, a small number after 10.
As mentioned, risk after a single exposure is very low but if it is going to be at the back of your mind, the only definitive way to get an answer and relief would be to test.
Please feel free to ask anything else
