Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxx,
Welcome to HCM.
If you are sure enough that the lady with whom you had sex was HIV positive than you can take post exposure prophylaxis for HIV from anti-retroviral treatment centre at any hospital or medical college in your city within 72 hours.
You can also go for routine testing required in case of possible exposure as per protocol at there. I will also advice you as your friend to stay away from unsafe sexual practices in future to prevent the risk of HIV and other STDs. If still any query I am here to help you. Don't worry and go ahead in life.
Thank You
