Risk?

Hello,

I am a fifty two year old woman.  Recently, last November, I had unprotected intercourse with a man of 65 (very young for his age). This man has a history of drug use (heroin), which he stopped more than twenty years ago.

What are the chances that I may have picked up HIV from him?

Your advice appreciated.

Yes. Thank you. But I just want to know what the possibility/chances are?

We did not use any protection. It was a one off encounter. And I am a fifty two year old woman.  Also, I gave him very brief oral sex.

Thank you.
