Genital wart is not a sign of HIV.
Do a STI panel because there are high chances that you may be HIV positive as you have genital wart.

Both are sexually transmitted infections. However HIV weakens immune system so a person with HIV is likely to acquire HPV (that causes warts).
Next Steps
An STD panel is recommended.

Genital warts come from HPV, a different virus from HIV, so having warts doesn't mean you have HIV. It's still worth getting a full STI panel done, since more than one infection can be present together, especially after any unprotected contact.
Next Steps
An HIV test can take a few weeks to a few months after exposure before it's reliably accurate, so a repeat test later may be needed if your risk was recent. Please get the warts looked at in person too, since they can be treated and are sometimes confused with other skin conditions.
Health Tips
Avoid picking at the warts or using over-the-counter products on them yourself. Please see a gynaecologist for proper STI testing and treatment.
