Yes, unprotected sex can cause HIV but the risk is very low if partner has a single elationship. Having said that , it is always better to test yourself and confodentiality is provided. You can go to any govt hosp or any private hospital. You are still in window period so you may have to test P24 antigrn test or HIV PCR test to be sure.
