Thanks for your query.
Unprotected oral sex has risk of sexual transmitted diseases (like- herpes, syphilis, HIV, HPV, gonorrhoea, Chlamydia etc.).
Most of these have different incubation periods and may manifest over time.
So you need not to take any medication right now. As there are a numbers of sexual transmitted diseases and every disease has different treatment.
Do a STD profile test if you have symptoms like Ulcer on penis, Discharge and pain over the testicles etc. and if you don’t have any symptoms do the same test after 4 weeks because STD sometimes don’t produce any symptoms and this test need at least 4 weeks time to become positive.

You can have sexual intercourse with your partner but please follow some basic points till you have your STD profile done.
1. Use latex condoms every time you have sex. (If you use a lubricant, make sure it's water-based.) Use condoms for the entire sex act. They are extremely effective if used properly. Condoms are 90% effective at preventing STD.
2. Avoid sharing towels or underclothing.
3. Wash before and after intercourse.
