Oral Concerns

I have had several oral (12 or so over last 10 months) exposures (me receiving) unprotected.
I am concerned I might have placed myself in a situation of an HIV exposure.
I currently have a lot of congestion and cough but no other issues.
Do you feel I am at risk and is there a need to test and just stop my unneeded worry?

thanks for all you do to provide assistance to folks like me.

Hi,
There is no risk of hiv transmission for this incidents.
HIV can be transmitted via unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration, sharing IV works in drugs and from mother to child
Take care

As said almost everyday here. Oral sex is not a risk for hiv. But of you are sexually active please do get tested for all stds every 6 months for precaution and for your own safety.
