Hello,
I am a gay man and I recently had sex with two other gay men, I performed unprotected oral sex on their penis and anus. I had a very tinny cut on my cheek from eating chips and a small tongue bite from earlier in the day. Non of the two lesions mentioned were bleeding although they were a little painful. neither of them ejaculated in my mouth and there was some pre-cum at the very beginning
What is the risk of contracting hiv from this interaction?
Thank you!

You didn't have a risk in the situation you described . The risk factors for HIV are as follows ....
Sharing IV drug needles immediately after use.
Unprotected anal and vaginal sex.
Mother to child during or shortly after birth
Very specific healthcare situations.
Your saliva contains proteins and enzymes that render HIV unable to infect so you did not have a risk even with a chip nick in your mouth .
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!
