If you reread the answers, you should be able to answer your last question.
Oral sex is considered a negligible risk of HIV transmission, there has never been a recorded case of HIV transmission this way. You will not be the first...
Oral sex can transmit other STDs though and you should get yourself tested diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, HSV and HPV or syphilis. Chlamydia and gonorrhea can be test around 2 days after exposure with a urine test. HSV, HPV and Syphillis can take a long time to show in test and a 3 months window period is still recommended. Syphillis is not as common as the other two even though it is unfortunately coming back...

Do I need to test for hiv ?
No, HIV is only a theoretical risk for oral sex, nobody has ever contracted it this way. Other are definitely a possibility though, there are for most of them easily treatable with medications except for HSV.
As I understand u , and all staff on this website there is no, risk for this situation
Exactly, no risk for HIV. You could still be at risk for other STDs though as stated above.
