Chances of getting HIV from receiving oral sex (*******)
Hi,
For the last five months i have visited four escort girls. With the three of them I didnt have vaginal intercourse because i was very scared from getting any diseases, i had only oral sex (they gave me blowjob). With one of them I had vaginal intercourse and i have used a condom which did not brake or anything like that. The whole experience lasted no more than 10 minutes. I also had oral sex with her (she gave me blowjob).
in all cases i did not give any type of oral sex to them. i didnt even kiss them in the mouth (french kiss) except only from one of them, and that happen only 2-3 times.
for some reason i am really worried that i have contracted hiv and i am very stressed because i am thinking of all the consequences that i will ahve in a case i have contracted hiv and this drives me crazy.
is there a real a big chances that i have contracted HIV or any other STD? should i go get tested?

i received oral sex 2 weeks ago and you say their are no risks of catching HIV,but what if i feel like I have symptoms of HIV is that my mind playing tricks on me or what?
I understand how you feel. I had received oral sex from a safe guy about 4 and half months ago, and even though he told me he was safe, I got into my head that I was infected. I have been tested twice, both at the 3 weeks and just shy of the 3 month mark, and I have came up negative. However, I understand how you feel because the thought of thinking that you might be infected, will kill you faster than anything. It is the stress from worrying that will do it. However, I am glad that there this site and medical professional that tell you the same thing. I was told by my medical professional that the risk is very low and she didn't seem to care about it either. She did tell me that unprotected vaginal/anal sex is more of a worry. It felt good to hear that because when I finally do become intimate with someone, I will always use protection. However, I have had unprotected oral sex within the last 2 years and I came up fine. So, I strongly believe that even though there is a low risk, it is nothing compared to having unprotected vaginal/anal sex. Like my medical professional said, "it is a low risk, even if an infected person gives you oral sex."
You had no risk of contracting HIV from oral sex.
No incident HIV infections among MSM who practice exclusively oral sex.

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD
"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK
"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK
in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?

Did i make clear to you that when i received oral sex (blowjob) i was not using a condom? Your advices are still valid taking under consideration that i did not use condom for the blowjobs, right?
You never had a risk of hiv transmission from the situations you described and don,t require testing for hiv.
hiv is NOT transmitted through oral sex.
