Oral male to male

So the time period is from last March to last December. i had protected anal sex with one man. then i also had unprotected oral sex with three guys. i do not think they cummed in my mouth but i am not sure. from what i have read it says that oral sex is a low chance but still has a chance of contraction. My question is how high of a chance did i have of contracting HIV from unprotect male to male oral sex. I have recently been having symptoms like fatigue, last night i went to bed at 9 which is very early for me and woke up around 12 not being able to fall asleep, i have swollen lymph nodes, and also i have been having to urinate/poop a lot. My last unprotected oral sex was in december. would the symptoms have shown within 5 months or later or earlier? i also got tested today but waiting for the results is really bothering me

Oral sex carries a very low risk, the risk for the insertive partner is lower than the receptive partner, unfortunally gay man have a high hiv prevalence but the risk remains small, the CDC says that the hiv per act risk of giving oral sex is 1/10000 since you did it 3 times your risk would be 3/10000, your symptoms are probably anxiety driven are to late , ARS symptoms only happen 50% of the time in infected people, and they happen betwenn 2 -6 weeks not 5 months later, if you remain worried get a single rapid test it only takes 20 min and would give you a life of peace of mind.

Good luck

your test will be negative if you haven't had any truly unsafe sex. you should see a doc as something else likely is going on ie thyroid inbalance, depression, anxiety etc.
There was no risk to protected anal sex, an unprotected oral sex is an extremely low risk. Just be sure to ask HIV status of anyone you don't really know good luck
