Unprotected oral. Am I at risk?
Hello everyone. I’m really sorry to bother everyone. Recently I met a guy & performed unprotected oral sex on him & he ejaculated in my mouth & I swallowed. There was some rimming involved also. No anal at all though. As far as I’m aware there were no bleeding open holes in my mouth but the only thing was I brushed my teeth just before meeting & may have had bleeding gums. I am unaware of the guys hiv status but if he is positive am I at risk? I’m really starting to panic a bit now after reading stories on the internet about contacting hiv through unprotected oral sex. Thanks
Oral sex are not a risk for hiv infection,unprotected anal or vagina sex are indeed a risk.

Thank you
Hi and again I'm really sorry to bother everyone but I forgot to mention I also fingered him & I'm not sure if I had any little cuts on my fingers at the time. Does this make any difference with my original assessment that I was at no risk? Thanks
Nothing changes. You didn't possess any risk.
Reread about unrealistic.
Thank you so much
Have you been here before under another name? It doesn't take long to read through some of the questions here and see the responses that never change stating that oral sex is not a risk for HIV transmission. Simply does not happen. If you wear a condom during vaginal or anal intercourse and don't share IV drug needles, you'll never have to worry about HIV. Saliva and air inactivate the virus and hence, oral is not a risk (no matter the state of your mouth's health).

Thank you GR. No I haven’t been on here before & like I said I wish I had came across you guys first when I started googling as I wouldn’t have got myself so worked up. Thanks again. You guys are all doing a great job on here
This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.
If you didn't have one of the 3 then you are just worrying about your own hiv theory - which is unrealistic for you to think that can become reality - so you should move on back to your happy life instead.
You can read anything on the internet, including many other disease risks that you don't worry about today, so the first step to peace is to stop googling for death cold turkey.

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
