Receiving oral sex is absolutely NO RISK for HIV.

The other guy touching his penis and then touching you is also absolutely NO RISK.

If you wear a condom for penetrative anal/vaginal sex, and don't share IV drug needles, you will avoid HIV. It's really, seriously that simple.

Receiving oral is one of the most common of sexual activities. No matter what details are thrown into the mix, in the entire history of the epidemic there has never been even one confirmed case of transmission of HIV in that manner.

It's safe to say you are not going to make history by becoming the first. There is no need for further concern on your part or for HIV testing.

What you need to keep in mind is that the only confirmed risks for the sexual transmission of HIV are unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse. As long as you consistently use condoms for those activities you will be well protected.

Stress can make you ill. Poking your lymph nodes can make them swell and become painful.

You are not going to be the first person in history to get HIV from receiving a blowjob.

Hi , You have had risk for HIV . You will need to see your doctor to receive PEP.
Testing guidelines are at 6 weeks and again at 13 weeks to confirm your result, AFTER  finishing your last dose of medication.  PEP has a very good track record at preventing HIV and should be started within 72 hours after exposure.
You can read about testing here,

http://www.aidsmeds.com/articles/HIVtests_5029.shtml

To avoid infection,
You need to be using condoms for all anal and vaginal intercourse until you are in a trusting monogamous relationship and both have been tested for all STDs and HIV.
Everyone who is sexually active should have an annual exam and test for all STDs and HIV ,and always after unprotected intercourse. Always using condoms will give you peace of mind your tests will return with a negative result.
Wade
