Brief Answer:
Your HIV risk is negligible only.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
As per CDC, XXXXXXX transfusion of infected blood, sharing of needle, anal intercourse, Vaginal intercourse are having high for HIV whereas oral sex carries a low risk. All other activities including biting carry a negligible risk for HIV infection. So not to worry.
4th generation test can recognize only HIV 1 infection only by 4 weeks. HIV 1 and 2 can be picked up only after 12 weeks.
Separate PCR for both can rule out both HIV 1 and 2 by 3 weeks after the exposure itself.

In that case also, your risk for HIV infection is negligible only. Oral sex carries a low risk for HIV infection. Other than those activities, I mentioned earlier, all carry a negligible risk for HIV infection.
