Uncircumcized: Insertive Oral Sex

I have read many responses in this forum that say that there is no risk to a male if he receives unprotected oral sex and testing is not recommended. I have also read that being uncircumcized increases one's risk as there are Langerhans Cells in the foreskin that can absorb HIV once it gets trapped beneath the foreskin.
Now, I am an uncircumcized male and yesterday I had the misfortune of unprotected oral being performed on me (for about 10 minutes) by a female of unknown serostatus. She even spat on my penis a couple of times. As far as I am aware of I did not see blood in her mouth and my penis has no cuts or sores either.
Given the elevated risk that an uncircumcized man has, is my risk from receiving oral significant enough? The reason I ask this is because I have read that there are small quantities of HIV in saliva and I was wondering what if they are absorbed by the foreskin cells.
I did not find any answer to any similar query on unprotected oral while being uncircumcized in the archives. It has been just 12 hours since the incident. What do you reccomend I do?
Anxiously waiting for your answer.

Unless the person bled onto your penis, being cut or uncut makes no diff in relation to the risk of insertive oral.
Saliva is a noninfectious fluid.

Thanks Jazz for your response. In fact I have posted this same question at aidsmeds.com but for some reason I am not being able to access that website today.
Now when you talk about bleeding onto your penis, I believe you mean visible blood, right? Apparently, there was no blood on my penis (I checked my white underwear about 2 hours after the incident, there were no blood stains on it). If the person had bled, would the bleeding be apparent? I mean should I have seen the blood while checking my penis later?
So are u saying that I don't need to go for PEP? It has been less than a day since the incident.
In other words, do you believe that I am Negative? I am a little confused because a recent thread in aidsmeds.com had three noted experts say otherwise regarding insertive oral.

You most certainly should not request PEP unless you would like Doctors and Nurses laughing at you ;-)
Yes, visible, copious blood would be needed to put you at risk.
I would not test for an insertive blow job, and I have not in fact for one I received 2 years ago.
The discussion amongst the experts on aidsmeds surrounded the theoretical route of transmission, not the documented. In theory I could bang the Olsen twins. It will never be documented that I did however.....
You don't need testing.

The 'misfortune' of having oral sex! I've never heard of that before.
Seriously the chance of you having HIV from receptive oral that are only theoretical. There have been cases the other way around but only in exceptional circumstances.
You're just freaking. Try not to worry!

For what it is worth. Insertive oral (getting a bj) is theoretical.
Receptive oral (giving a bj) is low risk yet documented.
