Brief Answer:
HIV RNA test at 2 weeks.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

There are chances of you getting infected by hiv if that female had hiv.

To detect if you are affected or not you may get HIV RNA test (at 2 weeks) or HIV antibodies test (at 3 months) after exposure.

HIV RNA test is more accurate and costly.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.

Brief Answer:
see below answer

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry for little delay in reply.

Yes the risk of transmission is low with spitting. But there is some risk. The chances are less then 0.003%.

In your case it is unlikely that you may be infected. Test is done only to clear the doubt and the mild risk. The cost of RNS HIV test varies from center to center starting from 1000rs.

It is unlikely to have symptoms so soon , so there are no as such early symptoms to rule out HIV.

Hope I have answered your query . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
