It only takes one time contract HIV. If you are worried about HIV and your unprotected sex, just get an HIV test. Simple as that.

Whoa! Your mind is really going to town on this and without any evidence whatsoever that HIV is involved.
Since you have had unprotected intercourse in the past you do need to get tested. That's #1. Hopefully you will test negative but the only sure way to know for sure is be having an HIV test. Everything else is guesswork and HIV is never something to guess about.
So before you go any further with worrying about your husband or any other issues, getting tested was exactly the right thing to do.
Incidentally, neither the presence nor the absence of symptoms will ever tell you anything accurately about your HIV status. Only an HIV test can give you that answer.
Keep us posted. Fingers crossed here for you and good luck with your result.
Cheers,
