Risk of HIV transmission via precum during oral sex
Hi , during July 2013 I had flu like symptoms which lasted about 2weeks. I was tested for HIV at the beginning of August and the result was positive, viral load 90,000 but a cd4 count of 760. I started treatment on 15 august , taking truvada and stocrin.
I have two questions ,
1)Assuming the drugs work how long does it usually take to reduce the viral load significantly ? My next blood test is mid October.
2) what is the risk of passing on HIV, at this stage of my infection, if my partner (hiv negative) gives me oral sex and gets small amounts of my precum in his mouth, and I don't ejaculate and I am not not even close to ejaculating.

Thank you for your reply, there is so much conflicting information on the Internet
