If you contracted HIV (which is probably NOT the case), you need to wait at least 6 weeks to take the test. That is when the antibodies will show up.  In the mean time, relax, and try to stay away from reading all sorts of things about HIV on the internet.  

Relax.  The chances are so slim.  I went through the same situation and was very scared... next time just use protection.
