Will oral sex giver be infected with HIV?

I give oral sex to a strange man (I am a man). My mouth has no ulcers, but my lips have a small crack because of their dryness and are no longer bleeding. I don't know if he's infected. Am I at high risk of infection?

According to the experts who advised on MedHelp, oral sex is not considered a risk because saliva is too hostile for the HIV virus to survive. Additionally, in the over 40 years of HIV research, there has never been even 1 documented confirmed case of anyone getting infected by oral sex alone. You will not be the first. Testing is therefore not necessary because you were not exposed to HIV.

Yes. Always use condoms correctly and consistently for vaginal and anal intercourse to keep your self away from HIV worries. It's time for you to move on.

Thank you, but can this risk be ignored for ordinary people?
Look  the risk is very very very low do combo at 6 weeks
Experts in the field do not recommend testing following an oral event.  The estimated risk is statistically insignificant.  Do you test for other diseases for which you've had a statistically insignificant risk? Of course not, else you'd constantly be in and out of the doctor's office testing for diseases that you certainly do not have.  Best to forget about this event and move on.
thanks you guys! I become anxiety after that cause i am very fear of hiv!i don’t wanna die!so you mean i am safe? And i don’t need to do a check?
