HIV risk

Hi guys
I just made very stupid decision month ago and had unprotected oral/vaginal sex with the girl that is working for the same company.We had party and I was little bit dizzy already she ask me that we could use protection but I guess was to hard for me to put it on....And here I am know...The sex was only 20 min and I finish over her face on the end.
later on I find out that she have a boyfirend that is working for the same company ,but I speak to the guy and he told me that she is playing around.So I guess she can have it.
Regarding simptoms I have swallen tonsils for week know already but they dont hurt when i touch them acctualy they are not large just like small bubble,no other simptoms just sometimes headache...I took doxycilin to prevent other STD-s .The problem is i am freaking out because not wearing condom...Can you please advice what is my risk and I would like to test as soon as possible.
Thanks

P24 tests are not approved for diagnostic use and must be used in conjunction with an antibody test and the conclusive result on an antibody test is 3 months post exposure.

That's great news...it is HIGHLY unlikely to change, but follow up with a test at 3 months.  Insist on condoms from now on for any insertive sex!

Look, I am not here to argue with you all I am saying is that they dont always say there is NO risk. They say it is a very small risk but there is a risk is all I am trying to say.

I agree about oral sex that is almost zero risk or even no risk.The problem is I am close to 6 weeks testing and I whant to end this after 3 month pass.Honestly unprotected sex dont deserve all this anxiety and stress.I hope they find cure very soon.I pray for that.
If I will be pozz or neg i will post my result .However it will not be conclusive before 3 months.
I dont have any major simptoms for now that I can connect with HIV and i asked the girl she sad she is negative ,but still God knows when she get tested last time?
The only thing i know that I was tested regulary trough 6 months and i am negative .....
Will be God s will hope he give me one more chance to correct my behaviors.
Thanks

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who believe that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA

"HIV is not spread by masturbation, through oral sex, through kissing or other casual contact." Dr. Hook

"The observation on thousands and thousands of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK
"I would not say your risk ,if he had HIV is "slim to none"- that's too high.  I would say they are effectively zero.  How much of his ejaculate or other genital  secretions you may have swallowed makes no difference.  EWH "

You should just get tested it will put your mind at ease so you wont have to worry about it anymore. Many on this forum like Lizzie and Teak say that there is no risk with oral and will show you quotes with Dr. Hook and Dr. HHH saying that it is not a risk but if you search the forums you will find that they tell many people that it is a risk although a very small risk.
