Brief Answer:
Test at 6 months.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
HIV cannot be contracted through oral sex. HIV is very unlikely with vaginal sex as long as you use protection. I would perform a follow-up HIV blood test at 6 months after exposure, and if that is negative, you are definitely negative for HIV.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
