HIV Testing: Yes. Trust the results and please move on to not worry any more. It is very difficult to get HIV orally. In fact the statistics seem to keep getting to the point that the risk is nearly zero.

Rapid HIV tests ok: The commercially available rapid HIV tests are just as accurate as other HIV tests and a negative result 2 years after a high risk exposure would rule out HIV. The tests have a very high sensitivity (the ability to be positive when people have the disease). Do not test immediately after a high-risk exposure. It takes 2 to 8 weeks for the body to make antibodies against HIV, which the test measures
