Did I have a risk from receiving oral sex?

Hello,

Recently I had a date with a girl.
She gave me a blowjob, so I received oral sex.
Also, there might have been a little bit of contact between my penis and her vagina, I mean my penis rubbing to her vagina but absolutely no penetration/no intercourse.

Did I have a risk of getting hiv?

It is two weeks ago now and I have a little bit of a sore throat and also a lot of headache now. Could that be symptoms? Should that sore throat and that headache be a reason to worry?
Do I need to get tested because of this?

Thank you for your time to read and answer my question.

Is fingering a risk or not? I really don't understand the last phrases in your last answer. I'm sorry.

I explained fingering is not a risk because the 3 listed are for penile and shared injections. You were a long way from that as my other advice said. I also told you that you had no risk.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

Euh I'm sorry but I don't understand your explenation Hiv travels down the urethra.
Can you explain what you want to tell me there?
I'm sorry for taking your time or working on your nerves but my english is pretty bad (it's not my mother language). That's why I don't understand what you want to say there with that explenation.

No, sorry I meant unprotected penis penetration.  And the only way that is a risk is if somehow the HIV travels down the urethra so totally different transmission method too.

Okay. So, the muscle pain is no reason to get worried?

One more question: is fingering a risk?

Hello.

Since last week I have muscle pain in my right leg under my knee and also since a few days I have pain in my right knee.

Could that be a symptom of hiv ars? I have read that that are hiv ars symptoms.
When someone have Ars, is muscle pain like that? I have muscle pain en knee pain only in my right leg. Is muscle pain like that when someone has ars or is muscle pain over the entire body when someone has ars?

And what about knee pain?
When someone has knee pain from ars, is it in both knees or possibly only one?

The sore throat and the headache I had is over.

Besides the muscle pain and the knee pain, I have feel perfect.

Are these pains a reason for me to worry or to get tested to be 100% sure or not?

Hiv is not diagnosed based on symptoms or lack thereof.

They are extremely vague and non specific(which means that there is no particular symptom that can prove you have hiv)

To answer you question, ars symptoms dont appear so early and knee pain is definitely not ars. They are due to other reasons. Please dont self diagnose.

There is no need to test for such exposure. But if you do, i can confirm it would be negative.
No risk=no disease=no ARS.  Reread about the 3.

You had no HIV risk and a test would be a waste of time.

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.

You interact with others who cough on you so flu is to be expected at any time.
