Doubts about hiv testing

Hello all. I already posted about my oral sex exposure. Its been 75 days till now. Today i went to a doctor. He did not even listen to me properly. He just said that oral sex does not transmit hiv and tole me to undergo hsv, igg tests. I will get my reports tomorrow. Can i please know what are these tests for??? Is there any chance of detecting hiv with these tests?? I also gave them my urine sample.   Thank you for all people doing wonderful job in this forum and may God bless all.

from what i have read oral sex is very low risk if that. Why not just have a test if your so anxious and move on from there? The healthcare providers are there for a reason and if they say you don't need a test then you don't? sometimes i guess its better just to put your own mind at ease if your so anxious

      Doctor said that am normal and i dont need further testing. He said that this test is for herpes.   Doctor also said that there is no need for hiv testing since i engaged in oral sex.  Its been 75 days now. So am i free from all possible STDs?? Do i need any further testing. Kindly advise me.

thanks teak. I have 1 last question. please answer this. I wont post further. When the nurse was drawing blood, i did not notice whether it was a fresh needle. Are there any chances of contracting hiv from that needle if it was earlier used for taking blood sample of a hiv person. Thanks in advance
