Cunnilingus a day after tooth extraction.

I did cunninglingus on a sex worker on jan 24 2021. After my tooth extraction and pasta on jan 23 2021 it is now march 2021 and I am worried, I am very worried I have not experience fever or any oral sores however. Do you think I am at risk of HIV? I already conducted Antibody test yesterday and I am waiting fornmy results next week.

You can't get HIV this way. The only risks for HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles. Even with your tooth extraction and pasta eating (not sure why that would even be mentioned??).  No worries or risks for HIV with giving oral sex to someone.  Air and saliva inactivate the virus.  So, no risk and no testing needed.

Thanks! I was kinda worried. Since I read from a couple of sites that a recent dental surgery may give risk thankyou.
You can read any myth on the internet. The first step to peace if worried about hiv is to stop Googling for death cold turkey.

Fyi I have not conducted any vaginal or anal sex, only oral sex and I wear a condom but she did not wear any dental dam. I KNOW it was very stupid of me because of my poor judgement. But please bear with me.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air  ( vagina, body fluids, etc.). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the worst that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe.
If you continue to worry about imaginary hiv infection, see a therapist instead of wasting your life thinking imaginary fears can become real events.
Stop wasting your time testing and don't even bother going for your " hiv result" since it was a waste of time. You might as well have tested to see if she made you pregnant.
Thank you very much! :) apologies I have to ask, maybe this will help other people too which such a worry wart. :)

I'm confused.  You only had oral sex and a doctor gave you an HIV test?  You don't get it that way, so that's odd.
