Sleepless nights after oral sex
As I type this, my hands can't stop shaking.
Last Friday I gave a guy a blowjob after such het ejaculated in my mouth.
I didn't swallow the semen. But when he pulled out, I saw some genital warts at the base of his penis.
He says he's clean, but I read that HIV an hpv are closely related. My mouth is in good condition. Not sores or bleeding gums.
I will get myself tested in a few weeks. But can someone help me out here? How much risk did I have....
I heard that it's easier to transmit when hpv is involved

Is a negative hiv test conclusive after 4 months of low risk encounter. Oral sex receptive part
Hello Doctor, I have a similar problem. In a drunken stupor gave oral sex to a man.I had never before engaged in anything like this. There was no ejaculation but I had a cut on my lip. I also have HPV virus. The person told me afterwards that they are unaware of their status. Which isn't a good sign. I can pretty much bet that I am infected right? I also have acquired angular chilitis within three days of this contact. I'm so afraid I have walked into the perfect storm and am gonna die of HIV now.
Dear doctor,
Today I got the results of the tests back. They found chlamydia. They did a quick HIV test and a normal test. They said no p24 was found. But I don't know if they test for antibodies. Was the test for HIV (and to calm down in my head) too soon? 5 weeks after

As I said, people rarely lie about HIV status when asked directly, especially when asked outside an immediate sexual situation. Get tested for HIV in a few weeks if you feel you must, but if somehow I were in your situation, I wouldn't do it. In any case, best wishes and stay safe.
Sorry, pushed send too soon
He said multiple times that he is negative. And has an appointment for the warts. Like many, I always have troubles believing people.
Hope he tells the truth.
I will get myself tested on HIV and other std's. Hoping at least the HIV result will be negative

Thank you for the quick reply.
My main concern was/is for HIV.
In the meantime I've contacted him and asked him about his status. He said multi

Welcome to the forum.
Thanks for researching your situation, at least a little bit, before asking your question. However, it is apparent you have paid more attention to potentially alarming information than to the reassuring information also available.
Several STDs enhance the likelihood of HIV transmission, but not warts or HPV. (Some research studies suggest a slight increased risk, but most do not.) More important, the risk of HIV transmission from oral sex is so low that even the high risk STDs (e.g., herpes, gonorrhea, syphils) actually make little difference. The risk of HIV in your situation, if your partner was infected, is around 1 in 10,000. That's equivalent to giving BJs to infected men once daily for 27 years before transmission might be likely.
However, your risk for other STDs is higher, and I would advise you to see a doctor or clinic for personal evaluation and testing. The most important test will be a throat swab to check you for oral gonorrhea.
Apparently you didn't ask your partner about HIV status before exposing yourself. You should have done so. No male should ever have sex with another man -- even entirely safe sex -- without first sharing HIV status, and then not going ahead with those who are positive (and not on effective treatment), don't know, or seem evasive about it. Most persons do not lie when asked directly, and I would advise you to contact your partner now, if you are able to do so. Perhaps you will find he is also concerned about this event, and would agree to attend a clinic with you for simultaneous evaluation and testing. If both of you have negative HIV/STD testing, you'll know that neither of you was at risk.
There's also a risk for oral HPV infection from your partner's warts. However, HPV doesn't take well to the oral cavity, so probably nothing will come of it; and oral warts are quite rare. Still, you should be on the lookout for warts in your mouth over the next couple of years.
I hope this has been helpful. Best wishes-- HHH, MD
