Oral Sex?! Need advice

[alexa666]

Hello everybody. I recently gave a blow job to a person who's HIV status is unknown to me. I did it twice in one night and both times I deep throated him as well. I do chew the insides of my cheeks so both sides have a few marks and small gashes from that. He never cummed in my mouth at all but there could have been pre cum that went inside my mouth beforehand. The first time I did it my mouth was pretty dry so not much saliva but the second time there was a lot. I know saliva can help protect against HIV so is having a dry mouth dangerous for transmission? Am I at risk for HIV from this and should I get tested? It's really troubling me and I'm pretty confused with all the different data on getting HIV from oral. Some say yes some say no so now I'm stressed that I could have got it from him if he was positive.

You had zero risk so don't need to test because all is well.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from oral or touching. So those are 2 reasons you had zero risk for oral. It doesn't matter if you and they were bleeding at the time either because it is effectively dead.

Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with.
Even with blood, lactation cuts, rashes, burns etc saliva and air do not allow inactivated virus to infect from oral or touching. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make it a risk.
We are not affiliated with other sites and some use theoretical risks so we don't follow their ideas. Instead we rely on the advice of expert doctors.
You had std risk so info on that risk can be found on the std forum.
