Oral Sex Risk
Hello,
I am female and I performed oral sex on male three times in September and he did ejaculate. The last time being September 11, 2011. Two weeks later I had a swollen gland below my ear, rash on my stomach, muscle pain in my shoulder, neck and ankles. I went to the doctor and I was diagnosed with shingles. The rash went away and so did the sore throat, however, I still have the swollen gland and the muscle pain. I had a rapid test done at 6.5 weeks and the results were negative. What is the risk of HIV due to this situation and should I continue to get tested at 12 weeks? Thanks much :)

There was no risk for HIV in this above and you don't need any further testing.
I don't think you had a risk!
