the risk from a one time unprotected vaginal exposure is said to be anywhere from 1/1000- 1/8000.
test at 3 months after the exposure for a conclusive result.
the odds are in your favor from a one time possible exposure.

You cannot diagnose HIV/AIDS with symptoms. If you are worried the only way to know for sure is to get tested. This will put your mind at rest.
