Risk Assessment for recent encounter.
If anyone could please help me to assess my risk of contracting HIV from a recent sexual encounter it will be much appreciated. I am going to get tested regardless, but am hoping for some peace of mind in the meantime.
I am a guy and five days ago I had a one night stand with a guy I met while out. He told me he was tested and negative in November along with his (now ex) boyfriend of the time, and he hasn't been with anyone since they broke up. Since this was a one time thing I have no idea if I can fully trust him or not. He gave me specific dates of testing, and asked me about my status, but who's to say he wasn't lying about being with other people since November? We performed oral sex on one another without protection, there was NO ejaculation although most likely precum, and he performed a rimjob on me. We also had protected anal sex where I was penetrating him. I am least worried about the anal sex since we used a condom, but I am being somewhat paranoid about the rest. When he first began kissing me I detected a metallic smell/taste, which at the time I thought was just odd breath, but thinking about it later...could it have been blood in his mouth? If it was blood, this is why I'm worried about the oral sex and even possibly the rimjob since sometimes I do get minor cuts down there as a result of past hemorrhoids and harsh wiping. Also, while there was no ejaculation during oral sex, I am still worried about his precum.
I have read endlessly on the internet about HIV for the past few days, but just wanted to post my experience on here to get specific opinions. Needless to say, I am never going to have a random sexual encounter like that again. Thank you for any insight you might have to add.

Kissing has never resulted in HIV transmission even though poor oral hygiene and condition are quite common. Forget about it.
Not even if there was some blood in his mouth? I know the metallic taste can be attributed to a variety of things, but couldn't that also have been from something like bleeding gums,etc?
