Hello
First of all oral thrush can be due other reasons also.
oral sex without protection is less risky than other kinds of sex, but it is possible to get HIV from giving oral sex to an HIV-infected partner without protection, especially if the HIV-infected partner ejaculates in the mouth.
risk increases if you have any cuts or sore in mouth.
though you don't have any symptoms i would advice you to get the test done and make your mind free.
