Question regarding oral sex and hiv.
Hello. So I am a male who had oral sex with a female of unknown hiv status. I was uncomfortable going all in so I just used my tongue only on top of her labia. I was concerned if I can be exposed to hiv. I hear that the virus is not Alive on the "outside " of the body. Moderately concerned but wanted professional feedback.

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
Nothing else you can think of, including giving oral sex, is a risk for HIV.
