Brief Answer:
You need to consult.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings from Dr.Divakara. P
Thanks for posting your query.
If you have come in contact with her vaginal secretions then yes you have high risk of HIV ( and other sexually transmitted diseases ) .
I would recommend you to consult an infectious disease specialist and get started on Post exposure prophylaxis medication.
As of testing is concerned the test that can detect HIV infection earliest is Western Blot test. But even this test will take at least 2 weeks to detect. Apart from HIV also get tested for other Sexually transmitted diseases.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
Regards.
