HIV and Oral Sex

Last night I made the biggest mistake of my life. I had performed oral sex on a male who I did not know. They claim that they were clean 100% but I am still terrified.
What are the chances of getting HIV through oral sex, and what can I do to get tested and when?

Where did you get the information from that antibodies develop that late after oral infection? Besides that knowledgeable people here keep saying it's no risk at all, I never heard of this kind of late seroconverting.

Even the doctors on the expert forum don't say that it's impossible to catch HIV via oral sex. Dr.Hook says that he has not seen a single patient but he never says that oral sex is ZERO RISK.

Tell the folks here how you play this forum and then you go to AidsMeds and play over there too. You've been reported at AidsMeds and you're soon to get reported here.

Yes, you can, if there is any kind of open wound in your mouth or in the gum lines from brushing that can transmit the virus into your system, but the chances are lower than getting it from vaginal or anal sex. And if you do catch it, you will need a couple of months before u develop antibodies.
Double check anyway.

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV. You don't need testing.
