Performed oral on an unknown female. HIV risk?

Hello form experts.  Thank you so much for checking out my question.  You run a wonderful forum, and it provides great information.  

My question is to the HIV experts and or professionals who monitor or participate in this forum.

I performed unprotected oral sex on a woman (cunnilingus), and I am worried about HIV risk now.  I also had brief condom protected vaginal sex with her, and I fingered and kissed her.  

*Question:  Was I at risk of HIV infection, and should i get an HIV test based on the risk associated with this event?

Please do share your professional judgement.  I thank you greatly in advance!!!

You did not have exposure

As far as HIV is concerned, oral sex is considered to be safe sex by all experts and doctors alike.

HIV is contracted through penatrative Vaginal or anal sex.

Since you had protected sex you are safe. this is great.

Take care and continue to keep you are your partners safe

I am in the same situation. Seems that bottom line is you do not need testing. I will do it for my peace of mind, but this is a personal option.

All people on these forum are saying oral sex = no risk. If you do not believe them, you can look on some official websites like: http://www.aids.ch/e/fragen/risiko.php. My advice is do not look on CDC.
