What kinds of virus can be taken from giving cunnilingus to a woman ?

I gave cunnilingus to a woman and I didn't know her health.
I am afraid of getting any virus from it.

None.  You can not get HIV from giving or receiving oral sex.  While there is what is called a theoretical risk, that is not a true risk as it just doesn't happen.  No one has ever gotten HIV from oral sex.  People get HIV from having intercourse with out a condom, either vaginal or anal or they share drug needles used intravenously.    Saliva has enzymes in it that render the virus inactive---  as does air.  So, you had no risk!

^^^ want to clarify, you are posting on the HIV forum so assume when you say virus, you are referring to just HIV. That is what my "none" is referring to.
Thank you very much for your reply.

On the other hand, what about the risk of getting other STDs?
