As stated by our members, HIV is not considered to be a risk by experts and our forum for HIV transmission nor is kissing.  This fully answers the question and we are now closing this discussion.

Oral sex does not transmit HIV. There has not been a single documented and proven case of HIV transmitting from oral sex.  It simply doesn't happen.  It is Not a risk for HIV.

As a male receiving oral sex, the odds of you catching HIV, even from an HIV positive partner are virtually zero (and most people are not HIV positive).  You do not need to worry about catching HIV from this encounter.

But she was wearing braces? Still no risk? have you heard such situation like mine previously?
You had no HIV risk and a test will be a waste of time.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.
Wearing braces doesn't make a difference.   The risk associated with HIV transmission through oral sex is on the giving side, not the receiving side.  In other words, she was the one at risk in this situation, not you.  
Since no one ever got it in 40 years, they won't in the next 40 of your life either.
AnxiousNoMore - The CDC has actually changed its findings in recent years on the risk associated with oral sex and HIV transmission.  The short answer is that the practice is slightly riskier than previously thought, but still relatively low risk (about 1 in 2500 for the person performing oral sex, but still about 0 for the person receiving oral sex).
