HIV Through Oral?
I had oral sex with a guy earlier. He ended up ejaculating in my mouth.
I know people say that the chance of getting HIV through oral is tiny, but I want to know for sure. The CDC website says it is very unlikely.
The only problem right now that is worrying me.is my throat. The very back of my throat is a little sore. I expect that to be due to singing earlier, but would that increase the risk.

Oral sex involves giving or receiving oral stimulation (i.e., sucking or licking) to the penis (fellatio), the vagina (cunnilingus), or the anus (anilingus). HIV can be transmitted during any of these activities, but the risk is much less than that from anal or vaginal sex. Receiving fellatio, giving or receiving cunnilingus, and giving or receiving anilingus carry little to no risk. The highest oral sex risk is to individuals performing fellatio on an HIV-infected man, with ejaculation in the mouth.
