 if she says she's not there is not much you can do till she shows up pregnant.
IF you are even the least little bit concerned I would advise you to suck up your beliefs about teens not having sex (if you have them) and get her to a GYN and on Birth control pills ASAP
you can't control her when she's out of your sight and trust me at 16 she has plenty of time to have sex (I know I did) but you can control being a young grandma.
You can say "i don't condone sex as a teen but I condone teen mothers even less" and pop that pill in her mouth every morning.

So, you can approach it a different way and just have a talk with her about whether she is or isn't, you want to make sure she is protecting herself now or when the time comes from STD's and if she feels like she wants to be on birth control, you will gladly make an appointment for her. When girls become sexually active is the time they should start going to a gynecologist. And unless there have been problems in the past, it's not necessary to go until then.I really do not think there is a sure way to tell because their behavior can fluctuate so much for various things going on...it would be hard to tell if she is excited/freaked over what a kid did/said to her walking down the hallway at school from having sexual intercourse for the first time at that age.

 You can't tell. If you've raised her well she will be using her own good judgement about whether or not to sleep with a guy and she'll be taking the appropriate precautions. If she's got bad judgement it's too late for you to do much about it now.

 Take the to the gynecologist? But that seems really harsh and quite frankly crossing some borders. Why do you need to know? If you want to make sure she doesn't get pregnant make an agreement for her to use birth control. Don't be a parent who's "out to get her". Be a parent who has her back. Educate her rather than restrict her.

You can tell if she tells you. That shouldn't be the issue though. Just educate her on safety, protecting herself, not being pressured into it, waiting until she's ready, the possible consequences, etc.
