Cuts do not raise the risk of HIV unless trhe cut is deep and fresh, e.g. actively bleeding. In health care workers, all transmissions due to wounds occured when the wound was caused by an HIV-contaiminated sharp instrument, not because of expossure to pre-existing wounds.
It's not a question of "sticking" with my previous response, if that term is intended to imply inappropriate adherence to it. The scientific evidence clearly shows there is no reason for you to fear HIV from the event described.
Thank you for the response. The cut was fresh at that time. I got the cut just 2 hrs before the exposure. I wouldn't say it was deep but it was fresh and there is little amount of blood around the cut (blood could have been there due to the movement). Even with this scenario are you still going to stick with your previous response that this exposure was a zero risk? Thanks again
Thank you very much for the reply. I did read about protected oral sex over different forums and there is no doubt in my mind this exposure was zero risk the only reason I did post the question was because of the cut I wasn't sure whether there would be any risk especially when the cut and blood from her bleeding gum's came in contact ( if she has any)?
Welcome to the forum.
Neither HIV nor any other STDs are possible from condom-protected oral sex. Bleeding gums and cuts on the penis make no diference, even if saliva etc came in contact with the "cut". You do not need testing for any infection on account of this event. Even without a condom, no testing is required after this sort of exposure.
You have a track record of repeated questions on the STD forum and various community forums about obviously low risk events. Please educate yourself about safe sex so you don't need to ask for additional reassurance after every sexual exposure, especially when there is no risk involved.
