hsv 1 and hiv risk

Recently acquired hsv 1 through receptive oral sex.  Have had one OB and no other problems except I can't seem to get past the flu like symptoms.  Every morning I wake up fatigued and aching like I'm sick which persists thru the day.  Also got a flu shot recently to see if that would help.  Wondering what the HIV risk are involved with receiving and giving oral sex if there is no ejaculation?  Also, what other viruses or STD's might cause these types of symptoms?  I'm waiting until mid-November to have a HIV and Hep test just to make sure, but from what I've read oral is low risk.  Just want to feel normal and healthy again

There is no acrual cases where someone contracted hiv from receprive oral sex. You can rule that out.

Thanks, that's what I thought.  Just wondering what's up with the persistent flu like symptoms.  Maybe coincidence but it seems like all my health problems started after the hsv exposure.  Not real sure what to ask the doctor at this point
