A concern relate with Oral sex ( Cunnilingus )

Hello !

It's my 1st time join the forum , I am a man and  I have a concern that I had a oral sex to a woman ( cunnilingus ) on Feb 18th, no penetration of vaginal and anal sex happened . ( I had a small sore or wound on my tongue that might bleed little bit if I squeeze ) ,   I did a HIV ab/p24 test on March 2nd and both results show negative.

Then on March 11th I started to feel a small fever, around 99.5 F, ( body temperature never exceed 100F ) , then body temperature became normal to 99 F and stable after pills of tynenol .

Do you think if I need a re-test for that fever thing ?

Thanks !

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  ( hand, maybe blood, maybe cut, maybe fluids, mouth,  etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe. Any hiv test would be a waste of time.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either.  You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
No risk=no hiv disease=no ARS symptoms.
Most people including you got a cold or flu or something this year so it is time to move on instead of thinking it can diagnose something.

Thank you AnxiousNomore !  So even let's see If when my tongue had a small bleeding sore ( I believe it was only bleeding when I tried to squeeze it , but let see even it is small bleeding )  ,   when it touched her vaginal , it still not a risk ?  
If you understood my advice, your post would not have the word "if" in it, so reread the advice.

Since you didn't answer my QUESTION I'll do it for you. Answer> No there wasn't a penis in my anus  and she didn't inject me while I did oral so I had no risk and should move on, instead of asking purposeless questions.
