You didn't have a risk and you don't need testing.

I'm still going to test up to 3 months. Some people say there is a miniscule chance. The odds are the girl is negative but I need 100% confirmation not 99.99% etc.

If HIV is possible to catch through oral is it blood transmitted rather than through spit?

HIV is not really possible from oral sex, in all the years of the disease there has never been a proven case of someone becoming infected from oral sex and im sure there has been some nasty oral sex with a positive and a negative person before, yet, still no one has ever become infected. So why do you think that you are infected from a 15-20 second bj

I expect it must be possible if you stabbed someone's tongue and directed the blood down your penis?

Folks do you think that people believe oral to be a risk due in part, because there are oral swab tests for HIV?

Point is, if you can have someone swab around your gums to gather a sample for a HIV test, one could logically feel/believe/construe that oral would pose a risk.

Just a thought.

Regardless, seems to me the research and the many physicians out there state that oral is essentially no risk (for HIV)

No because the oral swap test is not looking for HIV in the mouth itself but its looking for proteins that hiv would produce in the mouth i do believe

Ok lets say you are correct, but do you think the general public know the science behind that?

Seems to me they do not, in fact your post indicate you yourself are not too sure about the science behind the process. Not that this is bad, I am just saying because there is a lack of understanding by the public regarding the test, it would be easy for a lot of folks to think that one could contract HIV via oral exposure, via saliva, bites etc.

Just a thought, not a debate.

Back in the days of my youth, I never even considered oral as a risk, never even considered unprotected sex as a risk either!

Saliva doesnt transmitt HIV so unless the person was dracula and had blood dripping from there mouth then there cant be a realisitc risk. Do you think that you can get HIV from kissing, If no (which i hope you know you cant), BJ's are just like kissing in a sense but with just some sucking. Ha ha ha

perform oral sex just single time is no risk...

To answer, most infected will test hiv + at between 22- 25 days, the other majority at the 6 - 8 week marks, and 99% have seroconverted by the time 12 weeks (84 days) has passed.

Receiving oral sex is NOT a risk and don't need testing.

Receiving oral a very low risk for hiv, there are no confirmed cases of transmission because of other risk factors. Basically it's an unknown theoretical risk, but i personally would test the theory out on my person. Unprotected oral is a risk for other stds such as syphilis, gonorhrea, herpes, ect...no unprotected sex act is all together without risk.
