Hello everyone,
Had oral sex with a co-worker , I came in her
Mouth . Exactly 2 months later went for instii
Rapid test , was negative.
My wife is now one month pregnant and very tired,
Hardly eats, and has had a mild cold for the
Whole month.
I'm worried I passed on hiv to her since it can take up to
6 months to show up.
What do u think?

You did not have a risk for HIV from getting a blow job .
There have been no fewer than three separate serodiscordant couples studies (where one person is HIV positive, the other negative.) These couples were tracked for three. five and ten years. The couples used condoms for penetrative vaginal and anal sex, but NO BARRIER at all for oral sex. Any kind of oral sex.
These studies yielded NO infections.
ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT NEED HIV TESTING AT THIS TIME for this incident , anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.
If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results.
Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv. Some of the other STIs can be present with no obvious symptoms, so the only way to know for sure is to test.
Use condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, correctly and consistently, and you will avoid hiv infection. It really is that simple!
If this is your only concern in the last three months you can count your HIV test as conclusive that you do not have HIV .
