Hiv risk from receiving oral?

Hi,

I did a swab test a few days back after one month of receiving oral.

I did swab test first thing in the morning and rubbed it over my gums. I shipped it to the company known as Swab2Know. I just received my result and it said that it reacted to something. So it’s very low reactive and they want me to come in for bloodwork. they told me the mouth swab tests are very sensetive.

I’m very confused as to what it could be since no exposure was involved except me receiving oral. I did have a viral throat infection during the time I did the swab test, did that cause the test to mess up?

Could it be false? How common are these? I did have a viral infection in my throat around the same time I did the swab test. Did that interfere with the test? I know the risk of catching through oral is almost zero but the test result confused me.
