Welcome back to the forum.
As Dr. Hook informed in your thread last August, sexual transmission of HIV requires insertive sex, i.e. a bare penis (no condom) inside another person's vagina, rectum or (rarely) mouth. You apparently misunderstood something else you read on the forum; rimming (oral-anal contact) has never been reported to result in HIV transmission. Perhaps in some past thread Dr. Hook and I have talked about theoretical risks for oral-anal exposure, but I stress that no such transmission has ever been known to occur. Further, you describe a partner who probably doesn't have HIV.
Therefore, there is no need for HIV testing on account of this event, and you can safely continue unprotected sex with your regular partner(s).
I hope this helps. Best wishes and happy new year-- HHH, MD
Thanks for your reply. Three weeks on and i have one follow up. I have what appears to be a cold, congestion (sinus) slight sore throat and feeling malaise...Just to be sure of your response you are saying there is zero risk from the activity i described. Any testing would only be for reassurance and not medically needed.
Apologies for the follow up.
There's no need to apologize for brief follow-up questions. However, your symptoms do not change my opinion or advice. New HIV infections do not cause nasal congesion, sinus symptoms, etc. You have a cold. Feel free to be tested for HIV if you wish; you are correct that it "would only be for reassurance and not medically needed".
