Oral sex risk

I had unprotected oral sex giving and receiving with a guy with no semen involved. There was precum and i might have bitten my inner cheek. I’m experiencing swollen lymph nodes and a scratchy throat. I tested negative but im afraid it hasn’t been conclusive for a 4th gen Ag/Ab test.

And don’t believe it when you read the posts on other sites where people state that they themselves have been infected by unprotected oral sex (all kinds and either direction) alone.

Not any confirmed reported case known to us due to oral sex alone.

Oral sex is not considered to be a risk for HIV because saliva is a hostile environment and renders the virus inactive. No one has ever had a documented proven exposure from oral sex alone and you will not be the first. The only sexual risks for HIV infection are unprotected anal or vaginal sex with someone who is infected.
