Can't tell you what to believe. Yes less than in terms of an estimate of 1 in 10,000 but more like 1 in 1,000,000.

This is where I became concerned....


There is a very, very small risk for HIV and STI from your performance of unprotected cunnilingus on your partner.  Please understand that most commercial sex workers do not have HIV or other STIs and even when they due, transmission of infection is unusual, particularly with oral sex.  The risk for HIV IF your partner was infected (and she was probably not) is less than 1 infection in 10,000 exposures.  the only STI you are at any meaningful risk for is gonorrhea, and that risk is quite low

sorry, for a layperson it was confusing to where they used to say zero risk and now say less than 1 in 10,000...

No they haven't, they use no risk and low risk as interchangable words.

I've noticed Cummings/Hansfield/Hook seem to have changed their mind on cunnilinugs to low risk.....do you guys still think this is no risk?

You never had an exposure. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.
