Got semen in my mouth then brushed my teeth. HIV risk?
I'm gay and I gave blowjob(unprotected) to another man and he ejaculated in my mouth(actually on my teeth and tongue). Then I washed my mouth with water immediately then brushed my teeth. My gums were bleeding when brushing my teeth... I often have gum bleeding problems when brushing my teeth. I don't know whether virus can enter through unhealthy gums. I was really worried about the risk of getting infected by this action. How much risk do I have? I'm feeling like living in hell right now it feels terrible! :(
Hiv can't enter the bloodstream through bleeding gums because saliva renders the virus inactive and unable to infect--you had no risk.
Oral sex is not a risk regardless of bleeding gums. You don't need testing and should just forget about this and move on with your life.
