Exposure risk...unprotected oral no intercourse

Hello,
I'm going through some serious mental anguish worrying about my chances for exposure for an escort encounter I had a week ago. I did NOT have intercourse but DID receive unprotected oral. I originally noticed a bruise on my penis that was likely from teeth during this encounter. That bruise has already begun to subside for the most part but I am left with a lingering fear of STD/HIV contraction and it's making me absolutely miserable.

What are the chances of my risk of having been infected from this type of exposure?

I was able to email the establishment I went to and the lady that runs it swears to me that they test for STDs and for Drug Use and have a zero tolerance policy on all of that, which should put my mind somewhat at ease but I still have intermittent panics thinking about the danger. How concerned should I be?

I plan to get tested but how long should I wait to do this. I am further wracked with guilt as I am married and confessing this would likely end my marriage but I cannot take a chance that I'd be infecting my wife. We mostly have oral...is it safe to stick with that? The idea of infecting her or of what this could do to our future is unthinkable,

Please help, there is no one I can share my fears with.

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV from oral sex. You don't need an HIV test. The only risk you had was a possible risk of contracting STDs.

You are worried, and your mental anguish is causing tremendous fear and a huge weight on your shoulders, but you can believe when i tell you that it all comes from the feeling of guilt that you feel, because of the fact that you think that you have infected your wife, but you pure and simply did not contaminated, because you never had a risk of contracting HIV. Oral sex poses no risk (NO Risk) of acquire hiv.
All this associated with the information they gave you by e-mail, results in "0 risk".

Take care

Thank you sincerely for your answer Peter, I think that you are right, I just need to stop freaking myself out and believe that. Why do I have such a hard time doing that?  I think it's guilt of the act and worst case scenario thinking that drive my anxiety. I've also been feeling a fairly new lightness in my arms and legs and have convinced myself that's something too. This needs to stop.

I come on these boards and read alot of posts that should put my mind at ease and I really apologize for taking up time if I shouldn't, maybe Teak is right and I shouldn't even get a test but I plan to just to ease my mind.

I literally have never had such a personal health fear in my life before and the power of this anxiety is unreal. It fills my days and nights and I just woke up from a dream where I left a goodbye gift for my wife before I crawled away to die, No I'm up at 2am and on this board to stabilize my thoughts.

It's good to read that oral carries no risk, because the first thing I found online was about it being possible and that it has occurred and for some reason that info stuck in my head above all the other stuff I read about it being LOW risk to NO risk...which is what I hope for.

Thanks for helping to quell my anxiety...it's sincerely appreciated. I just need to accept what you're telling me and I hope that my anxiety is all that's causing this lightness/tingling in my arms and legs...in my messed up head that's due to the state of what I fear going on in my blood. As I say I need to stop. Thanks so much for reading this novel...
