Even if he jizzed in your mouth right before you walked in the door to take the test it almost certainly wouldent show up. The way they do those tests is they take a swab, then they smear it in a petri dish that contains food for the bacteria. Then a day or two later, they go back and see what type of bacteria is living on it.
So what would happen, even if you had sperm in your mouth, is that you would get maybe a few dozen sperm cells, and a few hundred bacteria. But after a couple days, the bacteria would multiply to millions, and would kill and eat the sperm that didnt die on their own. Even if per chance there were a few sperm cells left alive, the odds that they would be under the microscope lens when they looked at the petri dish are astronomical.

Unless the test consists of someone sticking a flourescent light down your throat, I don't see how it can be determined lol.

The quick answer is no.  Semen is mainly the sperm and the white body fluid known as "***".  You didn't note if you spit or swallowed but, either way, nothing is going to be "left" in your mouth.

as rick said not after 4 months plus a throat culture is a test to detect and identify a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection not semen.
