HIV Risk and Fellatio

I performed fellatio on a gay male whose HIV status I do not know.  He ejaculated in my mouth.  Am I at risk for contracting HIV and shoulds I be tested?

Though your risk is extremely small, but I would not say it is "zero" because there are reported cases when performers contracted the virus this way.

You may get yourself tested after 3 months mark and collect a conclusive report, very likey a negative one, because magnitude of your risk is not that significant.

This is one those responses that I come across that simulate a cause for concern for me. Because, in some of your post I've seen you elaborate that HIV is not transmitted through oral sex and that there's never been a case in 40 years of HIV history mentioned be curfew x . Then there's teak who states it's a no risk.  Which is true?
This is a very old post. Oral sex is not a risk in 2020. That's all for you to know.

Oral carries veryyyyyyy lowwww risk if you have not been tested now may be a good time to do so but I would not be concerned with the exposure above.

Teak, how can you be so sure that giving fellatio does't transmit HIV?
I ask this because I too am in the same situation where I gave oral to a male SW without ejaculation...but I am worried as well!!! Have you ever seen it happen this way?

Thanks in advance...
