How High is the Risk of Me Getting HIV From This Scenario?

Hello, I am a 19 year old female who is currently frantic about having HIV (I know there's more than one STD, I just think this one is the more deadlier and that scares me). I just want to know.......what are the chances of me getting HIV (and I know, I feel very stupid about this so please don't tell me things like "Oh, well you should have thought about that" and so forth) If I had a herpes outbreak on my lip while giving my boyfriend oral? He hasn't ejaculated in my mouth except for precum but I know very well that the increase is higher if you have a sore/cut on or in your mouth, but I really am frantic about this and believe me, I'd get myself tested if I could. So seriously, what do you guys think? I really am scared and I know that I probably diserve it.....and I don't know if this helps, but he claims to have never been sexually intimate with anyone before me and have never shared any needles so..........given the circumstances above and the fact of having only pre-ejactulate in my mouth and having a coldsore on my lower lips am I at any risk here? answers?? Opinions??????

First of all we don,t judge anyone here on this forum.You had no risk for hiv from oral sex even if there was precum and a coldsore on your lip,because saliva contains many different proteins and enzymes that render the hiv virus inactive and therefore unable to infect.The only way that hiv is transmitted is from unprotected penerative vaginal or anal sex,shared iv drug works and mother to infant,that,s it.Your safe and should forget about this situation because you never had a risk.All the best.
