Insertive oral sex and HIV risk
Hello Doctors,
I'm worried because I have been reading about the risks of contracting HIV from oral sex. Information is not very clear, though.
Here's the situation: I have been performing unprotected insertive oral sex with about 35 men (random men, whose HIV status I don't know) for the last three years. Just that. No anal intercourse, no receptive; just insertive oral.
Am I at any risk? Would you say this behavior is risky for HIV? Should I get tested?
Thank you very much.
