Need guidance

Hi , I had sexual exposure 2 years before and tested negative for HIV by 4th gen test on 18th , 28th and 103th day. It made me in trauma. After that 6 months back I had unprotected oral sex and protected vaginal sex with a unknown girl. Now after 6 months I am facing issue of dry mouth now.
I wanted to know
1. Does it have chance of having HIV infection
2. Is this dry mouth result of hiv.
3. Should I go for test? If yes which are all test ?

The only risks for HIV transmission in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles.

Nothing else you can think of, including the event you mentioned, would put you at risk for HIV.

You have no chance of HIV infection, your dry mouth has nothing to do with HIV (since you never had a risk for HIV), and of course there is no reason to test for a disease that you cannot have.

Thanks for this , may I also ask for any hiv infected person ( if say) in how many days they get the dry mouth symptom.
We do not do "what if" scenarios here.  Your dry mouth has NOTHING to do with HIV, so there is no point discussing it.
Dry mouth is often due to the side effect of certain medications or aging issues or as a result of radiation therapy for cancer. Less often, dry mouth may be caused by a condition that directly affects the salivary glands. See your doc if concerned, however it has nothing to do with hiv.
