Oral sex risks
« on: July 19, 2017, 10:53:23 am »
Hello. I am a person who don't have anal sex very often, but when I do it I always have protected sex, no excuses. However, I engaged oral sex more often, like maybe 10 times in last 2 years. I know that sex is not so risky, but sometimes when I was a receptive partner , I had a small bite in mouth from the day before, and such. It was always without ejaculation, although some precum maybe was involved.Sometimes I have also bleeding gums (but I guess not during oral sex) Do you think I was in risk at all?

I freaked out because I met a new guy, we had protected anal sex, but we had unprotected oral where I was active.I ejaculated in his mouth even if I didn't intend to...Now I am freaked out and I am feeling bad because I don't know if I put him at risk.
I have a weird scenario in my head  that I got hiv via oral sex , and that I could pass him also like that. Does it have any sense?

I know that anxiety makes miracles, but I need a reassurance now.

Thank you , good people...

Hi, receiving oral is no risk for HIV...none.
Giving oral is considered negligible and would require many factors such as actively bleeding wounds in your mouth in need of medical attention.

The virus is sexually transmitted through unprotected anal and vaginal intercourse.
Other STIs are much easier to transmit and you should test for all at least yearly if you are sexually active.

Thank you for your respond. Do you think I was at risk from what I described?

As I said the risk from giving a blow job is negligible, so low it's almost nonexistent.
Getting a blow job is NO risk, no one has ever been infected this way .

Oral sex with cut in mouth
« Reply #4 on: August 05, 2017, 09:46:34 am »
Hi. What do you think , what is the possibility to get HIV if one have a small bite on inner cheek (from the day before, not fresh , not visibly bleeding) and gives quick fellatio without ejaculation?

That would be considered a negligible risk, so low it would be almost zero.
Your mouth has dozens of proteins and enzymes that damage the virus and render it unable to infect.

HIV is sexually transmitted though unprotected anal and vaginal intercourse.

Keep in mind other STIs are much more easily transmitted s you should be testing for all on a regular basis.

First do not post outside your thread again.
Second asking the same question in a different way will not give you a different answer.

It has been asked and answered so don't post about it again, least you find yourself with your first time out.
