A few weeks ago I was dumb enough to give unprotected oral. I am a Female and Had protected vaginal with a Male. I didnt look for whether the condom had broke or not afterwards. but it was used. The only thing was i gave him oral without a condom. I havent been sleeping or eating. I am stressing and worried. I am Scared to death.

As far as HIV goes, you weren't dumb. You had no risk and a test would be a waste of time. If a condom fails it is a large rip down the seam and both people instantly notice it so that didn't happen and you don't have to do close inspections or messy water tests like some people do..
You didn't do any of the ONLY 3 risks below.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing 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 the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make your encounter a risk for HIV.
