HIV from ********
I gave 2 blowjobs to guys....One came in my mouth but I'm not sure if the other did. How easily is HIV transmitted through oral sex? I have bleeding gums sometimes when I brush my teeth and I read that HIV is killed in salva because it breaks it down but since i have bleeding gums sometimes would that serve as a direct route for transmission? Please help! Thanks :)
You had no risk of HIV because you can't get HIV from oral activities. You are so safe that you don't need to test. There is nothing to be anxious about.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with but you didn't do that so you had no risk. This sentence is all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns etc air or saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make your situation a risk.
No one got HIV from oral in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life either.

okay thanks! I read though that gingivitis can lead to HIV cause of the cuts and stuff.....i might have gingivitis cause my gums bleed sometimes..I dont brush my teeth everyday so idk if thats a major issue or not. I know you said saliva breaks it down but if there or cuts does it not work? Sorry for so many questions
You can read anything on the net. Reread about the 40 because it isn't going to happen in the next 40 years of your life either.
BTW, you need to CAREFULLY brush and floss at least twice daily so there is no reason to take such a risk with your teeth that you are doing.
Bad teeth can lead to many health problems. I have seen some of the victims and it isn't pretty so refocus from HIV onto your teeth hygiene.

but does dental hygiene often times correlate with getting infected through HIV since my gums or something may be weaker
Reread about the 40.
