New concern

I had unprotected oral with a guy in October. He began to ejaculate in my mouth but i spat it out almost immediately. I'm fairly sure none of his sperm got to the back of my mouth or throat, but i could taste it at the front of my mouth. Anyways, I washed my mouth out with water right away and there was no blood when i spat out (even though i had brushed my teeth just a few minutes prior and am prone to bleeding gums). He told me he has not STDs, however I later found out he does bareback with a lot of men which got me quite worried. I got tested about 7 weeks later but I'm not sure what type of test it was, they just took some blood from my arm and 30 minutes later i got a sheet of paper that said negative for HIV antibodies, I live in Asia and I'm not sure what type of test they use here. I had no illnesses or ARS symptoms within that 7 week period. I'm just worried there's a chance somehow I got the virus, even though most people agree the chances are so miniscule. My question really is:

What's my honest chance of having contracted HIV? Should i test again? Also, can anyone tell me what type of test I had (draw blood, 30 minutes later get the result) it seems far too fast, i thought HIV tests take much longer.

Thanks

A rapid test is as accurate as any other test after 3 month's.

You are not at risk of HIV. There is a theoretical risk of HIV transmission via oral sex but for practical and realistic reasons there is no risk. Other STD's can be caught via oral sex but not HIV. Your test can be viewed as conclusive.
