Oral sex and STI

Hi. First if all I appreciate your hardwork in removing our anxieties. I was hit accidentally by a friend on left testes 3 years back. I had pain which was managed accordingly. I recently started oral sex with few guys. After the last oral sex 1month back i had penile discharge. Took medicines for few days n went away n recurred immediately after a week.( Doxycycline was highly effective then ) Urologist has again guven me a course but he says it can be non specific urethritis may or may not relating to oral sex . My question is regarding anxiety related to HIV does this condition puts me at risk for HIV while having oral sex, offcourse am not doing it now. But as a recipient of oral sex what if head of my penis touched guy's pharynx, what is his skin is not intact cuts sores, and my urethra although appearing intact may be having unseen sores  . Oral sex is less risky but chlamydia n others are highly common throughout the world. So question is regarding oralsex sti put together . Do they put you at risk . While having blowjob? ( I never had any kind of penetrative sex( vaginal or anal)) So even having casual blowjobs puts you at risk? As for all of us sometimes microcuts n microsores are bot visible to the naked eye

Oral sex is NEVER a risk. Even if you have  urithitis. Giving and receiving oral sex is not a risk for HIV as air and saliva inactivate the virus. The only risks for HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or share IV needles to inject drugs. No penetrative sex as you say? No risk for acquiring hiv. So, no reason to test or worry.
