oral sex risk and flu shot

I am a Gay male who gave oral sex with ejaculation and then immedialty spit out and washed mouth out after, what is the risk of hiv?  I believe I have good oral hygeine.......I was planning on getting an HIV test in one month, but I just got a Flu Shot and am also worried that getting a flu vaccine will give me a false result.  Is this true?

The antibodies produced by the flu vaccine inoculation will not be picked up by the HIV tests.

Thank you for your quick response....
I thought that the flu shot did not cause a problem with the hiv testing, since I am sure I would have been warned about getting a flu shot...but there is definately info on the internet claiming that the flu shot can interfere with hiv testing..
Thanks again for your help.
