You have never read on this forum "low risk." It's "No Risk."

Saliva contains over a dozen different proteins and enzymes that inhibit HIV transmission.

In the entire history of the epidemic there has never been a single case of transmission confirmed to have occured through a guy getting a blowjob. Your fears and any details you throw into the mix notwithstanding, you are not going to make history by becoming the first.

You are worrying needlessly.

Seeing blood can be scary. But fortunately fears aren't facts. And the facts of HIV science absolutely without a question are that getting a blowjob is NOT a risk for HIV transmission. Period. End of story.

Let it go and get on with your life. If there was any risk we would tell you so.

I had to test to calm me even with the no risk. Please answer one ?  I had this test done at 30 days.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 RNA Quantitative bDNA
The quantitative range of this assay is 1.9-5.7 log copies/mL (75-500,000 copies/mL.     It came back not detected. If there was an infection would this test show a viral load at 30 days please answer just that ?  Please

As you were told you didn't have a risk didn't need testing so don't come back asking about test results for a non risk issue.

Yes, an RNA PCR would show a viral load if there was one to show. But there wasn't. And you need to stop this right now. You were never at risk.

You need to get on with your life. Period.
