You need an HIV test to be sure. Also, you will have to wait three months before you get a test. You can get one now, but it will not come out positive, even if you have been infected. With that being said, you probably have not been infected with HIV. There is a small chance of being infected with HIV, but it's not probable at all. IN three months if you are scared. You can go get tested at a Planned parent hood. Their costs are low and the results are private.

The only way to find out if you have HIV is to get an HIV test. Risk of transmission of HIV through oral sex is very low, but can occur. Check the website hivtest.org to find free testing sites in your area. Just enter your ZIP code. Testing is confidential. Your results, and the fact that you are being tested, can not be released to anyone without your written permission. It does take time for people who have HIV to test positive. The best thing to do is to get tested 3 months after possible exposure, then retest 6 months after your possible exposure. (More than 98% of people who have HIV would test positive within 3 months.) Consider getting tested for other STDs as well. All STDs can be transmitted by oral sex, and since symptoms may not appear for a long time, you can't tell if someone is infected just by looking at them.
