Brief Answer:
You are free of HIV.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Based on your history I think you shouldn't worry because you cannot get HIV in this situation.
You cannot get HIV from saliva even with blood by oral route contact as you had.
Furthermore it is a good news that you have a negative result of HIV rapid test.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
