question about oral sex and hiv

I had unprotected oral sex and am fearful of hiv and stds now, but someone responded to me that i was at no risk for getting hiv. Can someone please explain how hiv cant be transmitted by receiving oral sex, even if the person you received it from has hiv?

Not mine but the standard medical recommendation is 3 month antibody test or 28 day DUO test

Not accurate for sure because it takes time for hiv antibodies to show in your blood and hence testing is recommended at 3 months and again on the sixth month (for conclusive test).

There has been no documented case for people to get HIV from oral sex and you wouldn't be the first. Unless you have cuts on your mouth that increased the likelihood of such risk, otherwise, no testing is needed.

Recieviing oral is not considered risk for HIV transmission. However several STDs can be transmitted this way, pls visit the STD forum.
