Brief Answer:
You are absolutely safe.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XYZ,
Welcome to HCM.
The risk of getting HIV from oral sex is very less as compared to unprotected vaginal or anal sex and the sex was protected then there is no risk of HIV.
Your 4th generation test after 25 days of exposure is also negative which is considered highly reliable so don't worry because you are absolutely safe.
Thank You
You are absolutely safe.
