It's very unlikely.
But you are the one who has to decide if "very unlikely" is good enough.

Hi. Being gay does not mean that the guy is/must be HIV+ of course. If he wasn't then you cannot be. Oral sex is considered a low-risk form of sexual behaviour as far as HIV is concerned. Mostly because cells in the mouth are not good receptors, and saliva seems to damage the virus too. Semen to saliva contact is not sufficient to pass the virus. Semen-to-blood contact is sufficient, and our mouths can bleed, so you would have to say low-risk, not no-risk. In effect I'm pretty sure there aren't any documented cases of passing the virus where contact was oral sex only. And indeed sex-workers (escorts) very often provide oral sex without a condom, whereas they will never have sex with a client without a condom. You'll appreciate they have many sexual partners, of completely unknown sexual status and history. If the chance of passing the virus was high, they would not offer it and the clients would not want to risk it either. As neither would consider the possibility of an ultimately terminal condition was worth the pleasure (for the client) or the cash (for the escort). All in all the odds are stacked very much in your favour. In that firstly he may well not have carried the virus anyway, and a single instance of oral sex is not considered a high-risk activity. Tests are quick and easy, so it would be a good idea to get one. There is no other way to say for certain if you are or are not HIV+. I'd be surprised however if you are positive if this is the only possible exposure you may have had to the virus.

What do you mean by a gay man? Does homosexuality mean being sick to you? Are you from another century? How about an infected straight girl giving you a blowjob? But you won't even notice, since you'll assume she cannot be infected due to her being heterosexual. NO! There isn't any chance of getting sick if you have sex with a gay man, or a woman; unless they are carriers of the virus.

You can only get the HIV virus from someone that is infected with the virus or someone who is a carrier of the Virus. If someone is infected or a carrier of the virus then any unprotected sex, oral, anal or vaginal, can cause that person to be infected.
This is why it is important before having sexual relations with someone new that you both be tested together for STDS and the HIV/AIDS virus and show each other the results. Even after receiving a clean result you should still use condoms for intercourse.

You can only get HIV from a person who has HIV.
Anyone can have HIV. Men, women, gay or straight.
It can be transmitted via oral sex, although the person who is performing the oral sex is at greater risk than the person receiving it.
It is possible to get HIV from someone who has HIV if they perform oral sex on you. It is impossible to get HIV from someone who doesn't not have HIV.
