Do oral sex recipients need to worry about HIV infection?
I had unprotected oral sex today. I am a recipient of oral sex. The time is relatively short and not intense, but I have a slight inflammation of the glans and ejaculation. I don't know if the other party has oral ulcers and inflammation. Do I need to worry about HIV infection?

It doesn't take long in reading on this forum to know what the risks are and that oral sex is not one of them. The only risks for HIV are to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or to share IV needles to inject drugs. Oral sex is not a risk. Even with ulcers and inflammation. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. So, no risk or reason to worry or test.

Thank you for your answer. It's very useful to me, so I don't need to worry about HIV infection and testing, right?
Sorry ，I entered it wrongly. I want to ask that I don't need to worry about HIV infection now, and I don't need to take an HIV test, right?Thank you for your help .
If you had no risk, you do not need to test. I also wrote 'no reason to test'. Take care
Thank you
You're welcome.
