paranoid of contracting HIV from my encounter..
I am male and received unprotected oral sex from a stripper 5 days ago. It lasted about 30 minutes. When I returned, I found a tiny scrape on the foreskin of my penis (probably from her teeth?) It doesn't hurt, but I can feel it when I pull my jeans up when the fabric is rubbing it. The What is my risk of contracting HIV from this incident? I never engaged in this type of behavior with a stranger and without condom and I know that I was clean prior to this incident. I know that there needs to be blood in the giver's saliva for HIV transmission but I have no idea if her mouth was free of blood.. would there need to be a lot of blood or even a little bit would get the job done? Thanks
What about people with bleeding gums? That happens to me quite a bit when I don't floss my teeth for a while. It wouldn't surprise me if many people have the same issue..
Vance, can I get some clarification on the assessment of the risk? Does there need to be a large quantity of infected blood to transfer to cause infection? In other words, from my description, doesn't sound like there could enough quantity of ransfer of infected blood? My concerns is based on the thinking(whether true or untrue) that even a slight transfer of contaminated fluid will result in infection. Is this not accurate? THanks.
