Hiv Risk

Went to Dentist today that ordered a biopsy on white lesions ( which to me looks like a white film and patches on tongue) on cheeks and sides of tongue. The white film on tongue and cheeks does not slough off which the dentist said is better then having it scrape off and have redness underneath.
About 2 months ago I performed oral sex on a male and I am also male. I believe I swallowed but know I did not do anything other then that.
My questions is the risk factors from performing oral sex and swallowing? If at that time I had and cuts in mouth or sores, do I have more of risk?
Very very worried, waiting for biopsy.

You never had an exposure. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.

Is Hairy Luekoplakia an early sign of HIV? I have these white patches that I cannot stop worrying about. Any information will help. Thanks again!

If one has ARS symptoms the most common by far are extremely high fevers.

Saliva inhibits HIV transmission & acid in the gut destroys the virus aswell--no risk.
