Brief Answer:
Testing and ruling out least possibility of HIV/Syphilis is recommended

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome once again to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.

Protected sex offers a high degree of protection against STD/HIV. Unprotected oral sex or blow job carries a very low risk for HIV/STD when compared to anal and vaginal unprotected sex.
As you had no symptoms most of the STDs could be excluded. Syphilis and HIV can be present as a latent infection (that is without any symptoms). Testing for these diseases and ruling out the least possibilities is the only final answer for your query, than all predictions. So get yourself examined for these diseases and get ruled out once for all. Here afterwards stick to protected sex even with oral sex.
