Hello,
Chances of getting HIV infection is minimized after protected sex. However, i suggest you to get screening test for HIV. The test can be repeated after one month. In the meanwhile, I suggest you to abstain from sexual activity or practice safe sex only.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
