Blood During oral Sex

Im a 27 year old male. About seven days ago i received unprotected Oral sex from another male who says that he is HIV (-). During the oral sex i noticed that there was blood on my penis. If he was HIV(+) and was unaware, what is the risk of getting HIV from him?

Im now, seven days later, having congestion and some coughing  and fever. I don't know if this is allergies or signs of  possible HIV exposure.

Am i being paranoid? or is there a really high risk factor here...
