Oral sex low exposure?

In the span of 5 months I've had encounters with many men (9-11) who all told me they're HIV Negative before I engaged in any sexually activity and had just oral sex(gave) around late May I began to have a persistent cough, no night sweats, fever, or anything like that. But I got medication for that and my cough is dying down. But I got this small white pimple on the side of my tongue it doesn't hurt when I chew or swallow it's just there. I have constipation but I guess that's the cough medications, but yeah So in late June I got tested and it came out Negative after my last encounter post 22 days and I got in touch with him and he told me he's 100% HIV Negative and sure. So I'm a sense the last encounter before that was in early May with two guys giving oral sex too but they both told me they were HIV Negative. I'm thinking about getting tested one more time in August, but the question I want to know is if you think you've had a low risk exposure to HIV do you need to wait 3 months for it to be conclusive?

Hi You dont need testing for hiv as you had no risk with giving oral sex but you do have a risk for getting oral herpes and the more exposure the more the risk goes up and oral herpes 2 is not something you want to get so i would suggest using a condom. also syphilis is a risk.
