First of all, the risk of getting HIV infection through oral sex is very less as compared to vaginal or anal sex. The symptoms that you had like common cold and sore throat are mostly due to some other infection. Second, you had done HIV duos test after 28 days post exposure and it is negative then you need not to worry at all as the test is 99% conclusive at one month.
