ARS (the initial "flu like" illness felt first after infection) takes about 3-6 weeks after an incident. However, most people who are positive for HIV will tell you that they've never experienced any type of ill feeling after thier exposure. A majority people find out they're positive by accident, or way after the fact. Now, lets take that, plus the fact that oral sex is considered low risk and calculate the odds of you testing positive for HIV. They're pretty slim, all things considered. You see, in order to become infected through oral sex, there needs to be some blood, and/or some open sores,and even then, saliva acts as a barrier.
NOW...take deep breath. Most likely, the guilt and anguish eating away at you are causing this anxiety. Just to be safe, and hey, for the hell of it, get tested if this is really bothering you. I'd say most likely it'll be okay, regardless of the outcome.
Feel free to ask any questions should you have some. This is a wonderful lpace, as youll see
