Oral sex a year ago with nail fungus symptoms

Hello everyone, i've been reading this forum for almost a month but now i want to ask something.
Firstly i'm sorry for my broken english.
A year ago i had several oral sex either i was a receiver or a giver. For about 4 times with my ex we did it in 3 days in a row and 1 time in different month.we mostly just kissing and i did a handjob. that was my first sexual encounter ever. Since i've been virgin forever until that time when i was 26.for your information i live in a counyry where being a gay is illegal.I was so stupid and had no idea about the risk thinking that he was clean. I never had any symptoms at all after that.but some doctors said ygat some people won't get any symptom at all. I remember exactly that i didn't have any single symptom. But my problem is i was having a tooth cavity at that moment and i had it tooth pain. My teeth was not in a good shape.and sometimes my teeth is bleeding after i brush my teeth or when i push it hard. And when i was doing oral i remember that there was some precum in my mouth. I was so stupid since i swallowed it. But then after it was over i went to toilet to throw it up. but i didn't know if i can throw it up.  
Now after a year i never had any sexual encounter at all. With him or anyone else. But about two months ago i had this nail fungus in my finger the color is yellow and my finger nail looks like it will go from it's nail bed. Like detaching. I went to my health site from my country and asked the doctor from that site she said that oral sex has a same amount as vaginal or anal sex.Because our mouth is really fragile.and nail fungus can ve indicated for hiv. I was so scared to death that i had caught hiv from my oral encounter. Though i have read so many times from many posts here that people won't catch it from oral. But sometimes the doctor said it was a low risk especially if i have bad mouth problem the risk would increase. i said this from my tooth cavity part. And also i remember when i was doing a handjob to him. His cum about a drop come to my lips but i'm not sure if it went to my teeth. But i remember exactly that it was to the part of my lips near my teeth that easily bleeding.
What i want to ask. If i never had any sexual encounter other than oral should i worry with my case.i mean with my teeth problem. I am so scarred that i would go to jail if they find out that i got hiv from oral with a guy.
I realise how stupid my ex is after he said that aids can be cured. Its just a government plan so we can buy more drugs and want to eliminate gay people. See. You know how stupid he is beleiving that. I have this crazy anxiety after his stupid comment. He had many sexual encounter before with me and never once in his life got tested. Even after having a high risk encounter. I've started to believe that he is positive.
Please answer my question so i can at least have a peaceful mind. I'm so confused since every source that i've read has different answer between any risk or zero risk.
And last one why can't i find any new posts with doctor answers. Is this forum still active.
Thank you so much.

Your story is long and I just skimmed it since there are only a few relevant details. You only had oral sex and some touching. You had no risk of HIV and are so safe that you don't need to test.  
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with but you didn't do that so you had no risk. This sentence is all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make your situation a risk.
No one got HIV from touching or oral activities in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life either.
The doctors left here years ago. Your situation is straightforward, so it is easy to tell that you had zero risk. You aren't the first person who with a nail fungus who doesn't have HIV, so no reason to think it has something to do with HIV.
