There is no risk for HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in "Ask a Doctor".
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Based your history of having just unprotected cunillingus (without open sores and blood), I think you shouldn't worry because there is no risk for HIV.
Furthermore, a mild cough could be related just with a viral situation and not with HIV.

Hope I have answered your query.
Feel free to ask me further.
