Fever Blister/HIV transmission

During a recent trip to NYC, I had the following experience and would like some advice on possible HIV exposure.  I'm a bisexual male, aged 33.  I had unprotected vaginal sex with girlfriend #1 multiple times for 3 days. I noticed two small scabs on my penis from this sex.  I also developed a fever blister on my lip that day.  Three days later, I had unprotected anal sex with my boyfriend #1 (I penetrated him), my penis scabs had mostly healed after three days.  I also gave oral sex to him and had his semen in my mouth and possibly in contact with my fever blister.  Five days later, I had protected vaginal sex with my girlfriend #2 but performed unprotected oral sex on her vagina with the fever blister not quite healed but almost.  Finally, 5 days after that I received unprotected oral sex to my penis and anus from boyfriend #2.  

I realize my choices were not the best but I'd like to know exactly what risk of HIV transmission I encountered from a professional with any or all of my sexual experiences above, including the fever blister, etc.  I don't truly know the HIV status of any of my partners above or believe I would absolutely know this.  Thank you.

I like that you are sraight foward but you were a little harsh on the guy. I would have found a different way to say it. What you sais was right though.I am not saying to give people false hope. Tell them the facts but be soft. I like your stories because i can relate. From another thread it seems that Teak don't like your stories.
I apologized for you already in the above posting.That is what you need to say to the guy.
Take care and good luck. Everything around here is so textbook. i know what the books say. i want to discuss with pepole who have had similar experiences like mine and are willing to share it openly like you do. Not many people around here do though.
Dexmajic please be careful of other people's lives

Dexmajic,
I am sorry for going off just now. I was wrong. The life you live is yours. It just brought back bad memories hearing your story.

A HIV test must be three months after exposure for it to be conclusive.There are other STDs you should be concerned with. So you can go tested for some of them now. Run.

listen to me carefully. I am trying my best not to judge your lifestyle of sleeping around.

HIV is a serious disease.It is a pandemic. You and I and everyone must take responsible in controlling it. You are not helping by sleeping with all these people of unknown status unprotected.
If these people die as a result of your recklessness. You might be sleeping with Hitler and Hussien wherever they are.

Figurative language
Run means now, immediately, move quickly

(f these people die as a result of your recklessness. You might be sleeping with Hitler and Hussien wherever they are.)
means that You are going to hell

You should never be that reckless with other people's lives. Your behavior in your description is beyond the the human need for sex.It is pure selfishness.
I would not be this furious if the only thing you did differently was use a condom with all of your lovers.
OH BY THE WAY THE FEVER BLISTER WAS Herpes.

Hello and thanks for taking the time.  I understand the multiple partners/higher risk aspect and would expect anyone to.  I also understand my high risk behavior and will deal with that personally.  What I'd like to know is where in that equation was I at risk for HIV transmission?  Also, I don't understand your comments about running to a clinic immediately. I could not expect a reliable antibody test until 3 months have passed and have no symptoms otherwise.  Please explain.  Thank you.

Your risk is really high. I would run , not walk, to the clinic. Stop taking chances with your life. Use a condom every time you have intercourse and oral sex.There are other diseases out there.The more partners you have the higher your risk.
Run bro
