Oral sex and 6-8 week rapid test
Hey guys,
Back in early/ mid May I had two occassions where I performed and received unprotected oral sex from two different males. Ive never done anything BUT give or receive ORAL sex.
I tested for HIV on July 1st (approx 6-8 weeks from either encounter) with a 15min blood rapid test and came back negative...any chance it could have been a false positive and should I get another test? I dont want to be paranoid but I guess better safe than sorry.
And how risky IS unprotected oral sex? especially when no ejaculate is introduced into the mouth.
Thanks!

if you had taken the time to read the numerous posts on this forum regarding oral sex...you would know that you were never at risk.
You never had a risk from oral sex, did not need testing, and your 6-8 week test result proves that you did not catch HIV.
