Risk is very low, since you have started PEP, continue it.
To clear your doubt, get HIV test done now and after 12 weeks.

Risk through oral exposure is generally very low, and if your partner tested HIV negative after the exposure it is reassuring, but continue PEP exactly as prescribed and follow your doctor’s advised testing schedule 👍

The risk of HIV transmission through oral sex is statistically extremely low. If your partner has tested negative for HIV (especially with a 4th Generation Antigen/Antibody test) after the date of your exposure, it confirms that they were not in a position to transmit the virus to you during that encounter. While the standard protocol is to finish the full 28-day course of PEP once started, the negative status of the source partner is a very strong clinical indicator that you can safely discuss discontinuing the medication with your doctor."
Next Steps
PEP Side Effects: "PEP medications are heavy and can cause fatigue or nausea; if the risk is confirmed as zero by a negative partner report, stopping them can save you from unnecessary side effects."
Window Period: "Ensure the partner's negative test was a recent one and not from several months ago."
Caution: "Always use protection in future encounters to avoid this level of anxiety and the need for heavy emergency medications like PEP."
Health Tips
The partner's negative report is great news, but let's confirm the details in a formal session before stopping your meds. Feel free to book a session to discuss the report
