Freaking out, please help

Hi, I'm a 20 year old male and about 3 weeks ago I gave an older guy oral sex. We'd chatted on the internet a bit and he said that he didn't have any diseases (and was tested about 2 months ago), and was enthusiastic about meet long term (not just a one time thing). I know he's had sexual partners in the past, but he said that he hasn't had one for a while. We decided to meet once and I gave him oral sex for about 30 seconds total. He didn't *** in my mouth and I don't think there was any precum. My mouth and throat were also very healthy, and I didn't brush my teeth or anything beforehands. I've talked to him a couple of times since, but when I tried calling him recently a message said that he disconnected phone service. I know there's a physical chance that I have something, but that it's generally pretty low and frankly my anxiety over the whole thing is killing me. Can someone tell me anything? Thank you

I agree, there was no chance that you caught HIV from this encounter.

Hey, I may not be an expert but I have spent quite some time searching forums and reading through other peoples post to understand that you are at no risk for HIV transmission. From my understanding saliva has proteins and enzymes that do not allow the virus to get by. So your safe in terms of risk. ;]
