HIV Transmission Via Oral Sex & Tattoo

Dear Medhel team greeting you,

I have 2 questions in my mind about HIV transmission/

1. Sex encounter
in three months had sex with one lady 3 times, I had sex to use Condom but we performed Oral sex (Everything) too much time during the meet.
Now I'm dame sure I can't get HIV because of protected sex but when I'm thinking about ORAL sex then I'm getting tension.

2. Tattoo
I made a tattoo, the artist changed niddels in front of me but still, I'm thinking that I can get HIV from a machine that was touching on bleeding areas while making a tattoo.

kindly give your advice on above-mentioned questions.

The HIV virus is quite fragile.  The only way in which people will get HIV is from having unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles.  Tattoo needles is not a route of transmission because air will inactivate anything left on the device used.  Only a needle that is the plunger type is a threat.  So, rest easy.  no risk.

This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore  testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which 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.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. 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. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either.
If you didn't have one of the 3 then you are just worrying about your own hiv theory - which is unrealistic for you to think that can become reality - so you should move on back to your happy life instead.
