You never had a risk. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.

From what you are reporting you are worrying needlessly. Here are some things to keep in mind for the future:

As long as you consistently use condoms for vaginal and anal intercourse you will be well protected against the sexual transmission of HIV. Unprotected intercourse is the only confirmed risk for the sexual transmission of HIV. Condoms provide very effective protection.

Getting a blowjob is not a risk for HIV transmission. No guy has ever been infected that way and you are not going to make history by becoming the first.

Since you are becoming sexual active this is a good time to get into healthy habits. Always use a condom for intercourse.

Other STDs are easier to acquire than HIV so we recommend that anyone who is sexually active ought to regularly have a full STD panel done. That means at least once a year.

This time there is no cause for further concern on your part about HIV nor any need for testing.

You seem to be listening only to your fears and looking for proof symptomatically of a virus you don't have. Nothing you are reporting has put you at risk for HIV.

If you have symptoms that ar bothering you, discuss them with your doctor. This is not an HIV situation. Period.
