Risk Assesment hiv through performing oral sex - precum

[JamesSunderland30]

Hi. On July 9th I performed oral sex on a man I just found out to be HIV +. I AM FREAKING OUT!!. i wanna know if my risk was significant enough I willl detail my exposure:
 - it lasted 20 25 seconds. First I licked the scrotum briefly then the shaft as well.
 - i checked if there was any pre cum on the head but didn't see any that's why i put the headin and out two times really quickly.
- then i repeated the process and check with my finger i felt something kind of slippery but assumed it was my saliva. I am not sure if I took pre cum or not in my mouth if it was that way it could have been a small or.tiny quantity. I didnt taste anything.
 - i remember.having a.little of a sore throat that day. There was no.ejaculation at all.
 - he showed me his lab results and his VL is undetectable (june).
 
Please help.me i cant eat or sleep. Should I get a test at six weeks and 3 month?. I will protect myself better I dont wanna get hiv. Viral load undetectable also.means his vl in pre cum is almkst non existent?
 Thanks for your time.

You didn't have a risk and do not need to worry . Your saliva contains many property's that damage HIV and render it unable to infect . You were not in danger of getting HIV giving oral sex to a HIV positive male .

 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!

 Thanks for your advice I am still worried cause on July 24th I got a tumor surgery thank God i dont have any cancer at all. But remember that I had some slight increase of temperature (37.2 a 38° C degrees), sor throat and nasal congestion i dont know if it was a normal reaction from the big surgery I had or if it was ARS.. GEEZ!! I WILL POST MY RESULTS just to keep you informed.

If you wish to test you can do so for peace of mind . You can test as early as 6 weeks past incident and again at 3 months to confirm the results .

Your symptoms are not specific to HIV and if this is your only concern your test will be negative because you didn't have a risk , not even a slight one . No need to reply .

Hi everyone. Yesterday I had sex with someone of unknown status I say "unknown" cause he said he is clean but it's been a year since his last HIV test. Anyway I used condoms except for rimming. I licked this guy anus and used my tongue in the ass crack for like 3 minutes. I understand that this is a negligible risk for HIV but I read now that rectal or anal secretions contain a lot of HIV. IS this true? Has my risk increased for using my tongue?. Before licking it was dry I can assure. Please some assesment would be great.

You were already advised that oral sex isn't a risk for HIV , rimming is oral sex also and is not a risk for HIV .

A) I totally agree with Moderator Jeff about the non-existent risk.

B) All of us are clean. We take showers every day. Using the term "clean" to mean "STD free" implies rather strongly that those of us with HIV are dirty. It's stigmatizing and adds to the fear the keeps people from testing. Please stop using it.
