I am new to this site so you may want to hear this from TEAK, LIZZIE, or GETITRIGHT but until they answer I will try to help calm you down. If you research this site as I have since I posted my question last night that you can check out, you will see that HIV is not transmitted through oral sex. Even when it is unprotected. The Dr's say the actual numbers are 1 in 20,000 get infected that way but that is not because they believe that you can get infected but they have to protect themselves too which is why they put those odds out there. You should stop worrying as HIV is not transmitted that way.
So what is the most common way of getting HIV !! Is it by using needles or anal unprotected sex??
You just said it.There is no risk for hiv infection from oral sex but you need to test for more common STD,s.All the best and from now on use condoms.
