what should i do?

hi, somedays ago i posted my question in this forum and everyone told me there is NO RISK.
as you may read, my exposure was getting my penis masturbated by a girl. she used her saliva as lubricant. she may have used her vaginal fluids too ( i am not sure about this one, as i think this maybe because of my paranoia or overthinking. indeed we were sitting in my car and i DID NOT see her rubbing her vagina or DO NOT remember that).
i searched the net and found many doctors as DR's Handsfield, HOOK, Sean Cummings, Dr. Jose Gonzalez from medhelp.org, or Dr. Bob from thebody.com, all say there is no risk or very negligible risk for the same situation. many answerers of forum, like LIZZIE LOU, VANCE2335,....also told me there is no risk and i can forget about it.
BUT i want to know is there really no risk? shouldn't i get tested for being sure about it? or shouldn't i visit a doctor for that? and are these people really knowledgeable about hiv?  internet and forums are virtual worlds and i haven't visited a doctor yet.
this all is about hiv not catching cold;
what should i do? get tested, or forget about it based on advices of these people i named?  i think i can control my fears if being sure it was a no risk act. thanks,

Do a google search on The Dr's. it is impressive. They are the best at what they do. The Doc's on this sight practically wrote the book on HIV info.

How can your wife be at risk from contracting a disease from you that you don't have?

THIS forum is a forum where anyone can answer and give their opinion on situations. Some of us, like myself, have medical backgrounds- others do not, but they are still very well-versed in HIV transmission and prevention. Regardless, you've also read responses from FIVE different doctors who are world-renowned EXPERTS in the field. If their opinion is not sufficient enough for you to lay your worries to rest, then you truly need to seek professional mental health.

There is nothing else left for this forum to offer you. You never had a risk. Accept that and move on with your life. You're fine.

even if there was some vaginal fluids?
or some other infectious fluids which she may used to infect me intentionally (i know, maybe a silly question)?

and i found many people in the forum with the same situation who get tested despite of being adviced there is no risk,,, are these people making mistake?

"BUT i want to know is there really no risk?" You got us, we all lied to you and you had the riskest sex (i am saying this sarcasticly)...seriously you were told by myself and Lizzie no risk and find 5 other Dr's who say no risk yet you still question it. Seek a therapist to help you with anxiety.
