Hello, and thank you in advance for your help and efforts educating people around the risks of HIV.
Im worried because of a possible exposure i had 6 days ago.
I performed Cunnilingus on a Tijuana Sex Worker of unknown HIV+ status for around 10 minutes. Now, i have been reading about the risk of transmission by fellatio / cunnilingus, and generally speaking, i found that the risk is 1 in 10,000. (Very Low, assuming she was HIV+)
However, im asking because i don't know how much my risk increased because of the following reasons:
- I just had a cold and had been coughing very hard that day, so i had a very irritated throat / sore throat and I swallowed a bit of vaginal fluid.
- I had a couple of beers before the act. I read that alcohol disables enzymes in saliva that help to prevent the HIV infection via oral sex.
Im very worried because i don't know if my risk went from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 10 or something like that...
Was my risk very high? Should I get tested?
Thanks for your time.
