Receiving oral sex with bleeding mouth

Hello.  I'm a male and received an oral sex from another male. During the oral like about 10 minutes, I found out his mouth was bleeding quite a bit because he had pulled his wisdom tooth three days ago. He and I stopped right after. I know oral sex has a very low chance but since now involved with blood, what's my chances of getting infected if he is HIV+?  Is it now equivalent to unprotected anal sex?  Thanks.

You had no HIV risk and a test will be a waste of time.  Oral is zero HIV risk but you are interchanging zero with low as if they were the same thing.

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.  there is no need to put anything in your eye because any virus that landed in the eye is already 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 any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
