Am I exposed to HIV?
I (male) received unprotected oral today from a female that did not have obvious bleeding from her mouth. However, there was a small nick on my penis from a razor blade about 4 hours prior to the oral. I noticed tiny amount of blood right after the cut but it stopped bleeding in a minute or so and the area had a tint of red/pink. The girl claimed she tested negative 30days ago (she does regular health check). Should I be worried?

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
The risks I listed above are the ONLY risks, and your event is not on that list. There is no information you could add that would make this a risk for HIV. You didn't have a risk and you did not need to test at all.
