Bleeding gums and giving oral sex

Bleeding gums and giving oral sex

Hello,

I have a question about whether or not a sexual act I was involved in poses a rosk to getting HIV.

3 weeks and 5 days ago I met up with an escort (whom I have no idea if she has HIV or not).  During our get together I performed oral sex on her (Cunnilingus).  I am really concerned that I got HIV from this act since I have really poor oral hygiene (my gums always bleed after I brush my teeth, I have gingivitis, and I get a lot of canker sores).  Even though I don't remember the escort having much of any vaginal fluids during the oral sex, it could have been there and entered my bloodstream through my bleeding gums.

My questions:

1. What are the risks of getting HIV this way assuming the escort was HIV positive and her vaginal fluids entered my mouth and my gums were bleeding?  Does that automatically mean I am now HIV positive as well?

2. If my gums were only slightly bleeding could I still be at risk of HIV?  

3. I got a Rapid HIV Antibody test yesterday (25 days after possible exposure) and was negative.  I know that I need to do a test at 3 months for a negative result to be definitive.  But I was wondering if a negative result at 25 days means that I probably don't have HIV.

Thanks you very much!

You did not have a risk for HIV from the incident that you desribe. No need for testing.

Thanks for getting back to me. It is much appreciated.

Why do you think I do not have a risk from obtaining HIV from the activity I was involved in and I don't need to be tested?  Like I said, I am very sure my gums were swollen and they may have been bleeding.  At the time I had gingivitis.

Thanks and have a great day!
