No but be careful: You DON'T want to catch HIV or any one of the many other STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) out there. There are many things u can do to protect yourself. I recommend to start here: http://www.cdc.gov/std/prevention/default.htmIt's always good to have a doctor looking out for u -so I would call one today and make an apt to get checked. You can probably arrange cost issues with the front desk.

No..: First of all, you would have to have unprotected sex with someone who is infected with HIV in order to contract it yourself. And even then, the virus does not always 100% transfer to the unaffected partner, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be incredibly careful about protecting yourself. If you think you've been exposed to HIV then you should get tested.Cost of testing depends on where you live

No, yes: Most unprotected sex does not lead to HIV (even if one person has it), but yes, you do need to get tested. Many places offer free testing. Check local clinics.
