Please advise if testing is needed

[losthere]

Hello,
 In late Augest or Early Sept of 2006  I inserted my man's penis into my mouth for a few seconds. I didnt suck and I didn't close my mouth onto it and zero ejaculation. I did notice precum on it before receiving. I took it out and give a handjob in stead and tea bagged him Little.  Last week and onto this week  I got what I believe is either allergies or a sinus infection. I have kinda freaked myself out and would like an opinion if testing is needed for this.

Thank you,

No testing is needed. Just make sure you use condoms with anal or vaginal sex.

Thank you.. As I sit here I feel fatigue and a slight sore throat. I know its probably because of the change of weather or allergies but I still in the back of my mind keep saying to myself what if its HIV. What are the chances of transmission (Assuming he was poz) in my case. Also other STDs..

Any info would be appreciated.

Hello All,
 Today is a better day. my sore throat is gone but still have a a stuff up nose. I still have fear that I may have been infected and still seeking advise as too testing may be needed.
 Please any info would be appreciated.

 My risk was letting and man of unknown status insert his penis into my mouth. Out of fear I didn't close my mouth but I don't know if I was exposed to his pre-cum. I caught either a sinus infection or allergies this week and have scared myself to no end. Please advise..

Thank you,

Lost,

You didn't have a risk. What you describe doesn't even really qualify as a blowjob. You don't need to test over this incident.

Here's what you need to do to avoid hiv infection: You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL STIs together. To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with a sexually transmitted infection.

Have a look through the condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

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 are having anal or vaginal intercourse, but 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.

You don't need to test over this specific incident.

Greetings,
 I've been around these boards for some time(on and off) and wanted to get some new advise.

 I've been active with three different people in the the year 2007. With each person it was one count of insertive oral sex with me ejaculating in their mouths. There was no intercourse and I gave no oral to either of them.

Just wondering if testing would be needed due to these acts.

Thank you

Lost,  I've merged your previous thread with your current one. Please follow our rules and keep all of your comments in this same thread.

As for your trio of recent experiences I can tell you that in the entire history of the epidemic there has never been a single documented case of transmission in this manner to someone getting head. Not one! So it's safe to say you aren't going to make history by becoming the first such case.

In general we do recommend that anyone who's sexually actively ought to have a full STD panel done regularly, which means at least once a year.

Happily, yours is not an HIV situation. Period.

Cheers,
