Relax. Your chance of getting HIV is so small I doubt it could even be measured. Is it impossible, like 1+1 = 3? No, its not. But as the doctors of this forum point out often and rightfully so, neither is getting hit by lightning.
The statistics used by the doctors on this forum -- who are absolute experts in their field (click their bio's for a reassuring moment -- they truly are EXPERTS) -- is that oral sex is around 1/10,000 - 1/20,000 per act. The risk is higher for the receptvie partner. Further, those statistics assume full blown oral sex, not 10-15 seconds.
I am certain the doctors would not recommend HIV testing -- I know I wouldn't.
