Possible exposure to HIV

I think I have had a possible exposure to HIV during having sex with a prostitute, although I was wearing a condom, it remained inside her vagina after i released my semen. I got tested at a lab and the result came negative but I am still thinking of having Post Exposure Prophylaxis.
