Thank you for your question.
It is almost impossible to get HIV from receiving oral sex (risk is 0 to 0.04%). For more detailed information please follow this link to a similar question.

I followed the link and open the PEP guide printed by British Assoc. It says giving oral sex is 0 to 0.04% risk but there is no data on receiving oral sex.
While giving answers I suggest you to read first.

If you look at Table 2 on page 82 of the UK National Guidelines for use of PEP for HIV following sexual exposure’ you will see that it states ‘Receptive oral sex (fellatio) 0-0.04% risk’.

Receptive oral sex means giving head (sucking), the one who does oral sex
I asked receiving oral sex (being sucked), the one who is taking oral sex
