Cunnilingus on sex worker who was menstruating

It was extremely brief - one lick - that's all and I am positive about that. But I definitely recall doing it. As soon as I did the one lick I stopped. She was a sex worker from a poor country and was menstruating (I only realized this much later). I don't remember tasting blood but she was definitely menstruating. I know I couldn't have made contact with the cervical fluid but what is the risk from oral contact with her menstrual blood?

I am pretty depressed and can't get help in the country I am in - Singapore - You can go to jail for having HIV here. I need to understand my risks so I can manage my situation the best. I can't change the past, can only try to manage the future. Please respond!

And is there an international Hotline I can call to talk to a counsellor? Is that advisable? Please help.

Thank you.

That is BS, ALL sex DOES carry SOME risk.  If there are sores in your mouth or a way for viral cells to enter the blood stream, there is risk of infection. CMV is easliy transmitted by the exchange of bodily fluids, oral or genital. A barrier SHOULD BE USED IN EVERY CASE WHERE STATUS IS QUESTIONABLE.  You are treading on thin ice advising people that there is NO RISK during cunnilingus, especially due to the lack of available studies on the subject. People usually do other things before and after cunnilingus, making it VERY hard to determine it's real risk.

Thanks! Yeah, that's the way to go... I made a huge mistake, I won't make it again. Just hope nothing happens from this. Trying to stay calm but it's ofcourse easier said than done. Gotta put it behind and move on...

Teak, sorry for the repost but I realized that I did not mention cunnilingus in my original question/post. I can't talk to anyone here because there's no anonymous testing or counselling in Singapore - and I will get deported.

I understand that reposting is a big issue on this forum but I'm living in a foreign country and don't have the option of talking to people "offline" here. It's a different world. I haven't spoken to a single person in 2 days... a response from someone here would really help.

I will leave it here for you or anyone else to help me understand my risk. I won't repost.

Thanks again.
