i'm so sorry to hear about your experience but i'm glad this woman was responsible enough to inform you of her hiv-positive status. a single exposure to hiv does not necessarily cause infection. but it certainly can. the only way you can tell if you are infected with hiv is by getting a blood test. i suggest you see a medical professional and get this blood test done as soon as possible. the sooner you know your hiv status the sooner you can take steps to treat the virus if you do have it. there is a myth that female-to-male transmission of hiv is a rare occurrence but science does not bear this out. at least one large study has shown that either sex can transmit the virus to the other at about the same rate. so do not delay getting that blood test. also you need to avoid having unprotected sex at least until you know your hiv status. it's never a good idea to have unprotected sex frankly and you probably should get screened for other sexually transmitted diseases since you've had casual unprotected sex with someone you know has a serious std. i wish you all the best with this and hope for a negative result!
