Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Oral sex carries a low risk for HIV infection as per CDC, XXXXXXX USA.
Human saliva is not infectious for HIV infection unless it is contaminated with blood. But it is wiser to resume your sexual activities with your wife after ruling out this low risk of HIV transmission.

How long do I wait before I go to a clinic to get a test

HIV tests are advised after the completion of window period for HIV.

Hi,
Welcome back.
The results of HIV tests are more reliable when you have the test 12 weeks after this activity. Till then it is better for you to either abstain from sex or try to stick to safe (protected) sex.
