my risk was insertive vaginal and oral(both unprotected) ...I dont believe the cdc risk per act numbers. I think those are too lesss.If it was that much for example 5 in 10000 or 1 in 10000 then we didnt have this much new hiv infected people.also I heard that cdc are mostly focoused on certain strain and group of hiv 1 which is available in  the US .and all the information which are available such as window period and etc are based on current available hiv strain in the US not all of hiv groups .people outside of US unfortunatly we dont have any reliable source ....

You don't have to be concerned about HIV-2 where you're at.  You still didn't answer what your actual risk was.

Where do you live?  HIV-2 is very rare and very much isolated to a small region.  It's not usually a concern for most people.

What was your actual risk?
