I agree with your doctor. Receiving oral sex is very, very low risk for acquiring STDs, including both hepatitis B and hepatitis C. You do not need to be tested and to do so would be a waste of money.
As great as the internet is, there is also a lot of bad information out there as well.
Please do not worry. You did not get hepatitis B or C from your exposure. I hope this helps. EWH
