Cuts on mouth created during oral sex raise chances of HIV?
It was about six years ago, and I was giving oral sex to a guy. During it, my teeth cut my lips. He did *** in my mouth, but I did clean out my mouth immediately.
On two other occasions, he came on my vagina, no penetration and cleaning took place.
He was my first sexual partner outside being molested as a child.
I do have a history of cold sores.
He is a straight, white male (which doesn't mean he can't have HIV, just that it is less likely).
What are the chances I contracted HIV?

No, you can't increase odds because they are zero from oral so no factor to increase by. You had no risk for HIV so any test would be a waste of time. There are only 3 ways HIV can be transmitted and you didn't do any of them.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you did to be less than that of being hit by a meteor. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established.
Cleaning is a waste of time since you are cleaning dead virus.

What if I have HSV-1 on my vagina? I was reading that little scratches can also be herpes and I am being tested.
That isn't one of the 3, so reread about 40.
Thank you!
