Oral sex
5 months ago, a girl gave me oral sex ( I am Male ), for less than one minute, and I ended in her mouth. There were no kissing, no vaginal/anal sex at all.
I test for HIV at 9.5 weeks ELISA (negative) and again at 15 weeks ELISA (negative).
Than I start reading about HCV and how serious is this virus. she looked healthy for me and I didnt have any symptoms. And she was pregnant and suppose to deliver the coming week, i don't know if this will change anything in my situation, lolll.
1-What are my chances that I will contract HCV ?
2- Will HCV cause late seroconversion for HIV ?
Regards.

Your problem is not about hep C it's about OCD or anxiety. Please seek help for that, your real problem and stop making all these frightened posts all over medhelp.
Your question was answered, slight risk , if your worried get tested, it is the only way to know for sure
Excuse me but I'm ROTFLMAO over your comment/response. Reread the thread Ekkie. Glad hrsepwrguy explained it. That settles it.
Hi there, I'm not sure what you meant by your response" as long as she looked healthy" you should be ok? I'm sorry and no disrespect but would you explain to me just what you meant. It's rather a misinformed statement from where I sit, that's why I ask what you meant. Thank you

thanks for your reply.
As I mentioned the oral sex lasted less than one minute, and there were no blood seen. so I suppose there was no chance for me to contract HCV from this incident. right ?

"1-What are my chances that I will contract HCV ?"
Hepatitis C Risk – The Hepatitis C virus can also cause chronic liver disease with a potential for being fatal. Transmitted via blood-to-blood contact, this illness is harder to acquire from sexual contact. While there is little evidence proving Hepatitis C acquisition through oral sex, a theoretical risk exists if there is any blood present in the giver or receiver. Thus, a risk of transmitting Hepatitis C via cunnilingus, fellatio or analingus exists if there is any menstrual blood, bleeding gums, a throat infection, cold sores, canker sores, genital warts, hemorrhoids or any other breaks in the skin in any involved body structure – vagina, clitoris, labia, penis, testicles, anus, perineum, lips, tongue or anywhere else on the genitalia or inside the mouth.
Experts believe that viral hepatitis is more likely to be transmitted if either the positive or the negative partner has another STD, especially one that causes sores or lesions. Thus, suspicious symptoms should always be checked by a doctor before engaging in oral sex.
