Dental surgery + oral sex

Hi
I am a gay male. Recently I gave oral sex gave to another male for 30 seconds.   No ejaculation occured in my mouth but one thing that worries me is that i had dental implants done 10 days  before this.  The site should have been healed but what if precum got into my sores? Am I at risk due to my dental work? should I get on PrEp now? Should I be tested?

Hi MDman8192 - oral sex in all its forms is has no risk of HIV infection because 1. HIV is a very fragile virus and cannot survive for very long at all outside of a host body 2. Exposure to light and air kills it 3.  There are enzymes in the mouth that render the virus inactive (I.e the virus is killed by those enzymes).   I had a similar scare and was advised by healthcare worker (an RN) that even with the canker I had in my mouth I would not have been at risk when I performed oral sex on someone I had recently been involved with but was unsure of his HIV status.  I would say that if all you had was unprotected oral sex that you had no risk.  Hope this helps.
