Oral sex and hiv.please answer
Hello. I am a hetorosexual man. I did unprotected oral sex. The woman may have blood in her mouth. I read in this forum that you are not infected with HIV with oral sex, but I read someone who is HIV positive due to the wounds caused by braces on the body.com. Wasn't the saliva killing the virus? Do you know any other cases of HIV transmitted by oral sex? Thank you. Sorry for my bad English https://www.thebody.com/article/oral-sex-hiv-braces-one-persons-story
Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (mouth, hand, maybe blood, maybe cuts, penis, etc. ) . You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you ANSWER "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
If you still have questions about your risk, after reading all of the above, then it is because you didn't answer the QUESTION above.

First, we are not going to address an unconfirmed report from 1998 that you found on another website.
Second, that was about giving oral sex, not receiving it. There are ZERO cases of someone getting HIV from receiving oral sex. ZERO.

I don't want to be rude, but the fact that the report is not verified doesn't mean it's lying. There are a few other reports like this one. Will people's individual stories never be considered?
I'm not saying he's lying. I'm just not going to dig around and check up on something from 25 years ago. Unconfirmed, individual stories are not scientific evidence, and this is an evidence-based site.
Are you wearing braces and giving oral sex to men? No? Then this has NOTHING to do with your situation at all.

It has to do with my situation. If the saliva cannot inactivate the virus and the woman has blood in her mouth, I may also be infected with the virus.
No. There are ZERO cases of anyone being infected by receiving oral sex.
If you are THAT irrationally afraid of receiving oral sex, despite there being no risk, wear a condom when receiving oral.

Last question: Even if the woman has some blood in her mouth, is there still no risk? Thank you very much
Does saliva only inactivate HIV-1? Does hiv-2 also inactivate?
Since you didn't answer the QUESTION above, I'll do it. Answer> No there wasn't a penis in my anus and she didn't inject me during the oral so I am wasting my time asking questions that have been answered. .
Consider therapy.
