HIV Virus can be acquired most commonly by Sexual contact with already HIV positive person, not by unsterilized vaginal speculum.
However you can get local vaginal infection which may complicate further.
Next Steps
Kindly contact a Physician or a Gynaecologist if you have some symptoms

Highly unlikely. As the speculum is usually sterilized after each use.
