Your question has been fully answered by our members that you had no risk of HIV from an exposure of oral sex with or without a condom. And condoms protect against HIV.

If your doctor tested you for HIV for this encounter, then it is because one of two reasons --  they are uneducated on the subject of HIV or you were making such a big deal out of it is the only way you'd leave their office.

Your activities were not risks for HIV.  And condoms would prevent other std's as well. You know . . . safe sex and all.

You had no risk.

Few doctors says that condom have microscopic defect and tiny holes which we cant see thru bare eyes and HIV can pass thru it. My wife got sick, sore throat and cold but no fever, after unprotected sex with me. Thats why I am worried
This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore  testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which 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 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe 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. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.
Therefore your questions about condom are irrelevant and your attempt to diagnose HIV from symptoms is a waste of time- you can't get HIV from oral. People cough on your wife's lips and door knobs, so it is silly to think a cold proves she got HIV - sore throat can't prove anything plus you can't have hIV.

Hi, kissing is definitely no risk for hiv as it isnt spread through saliva as a medium.
Other std no, herpes there's a risk.

It was not kissing. It was protected oral sex only
You can't get anything when you use a condom which is why it is called safe sex. Time to move on and get back to your happy life.
