He's a WW. He's not very knowledgeable. No you are not putting anyone at risk for HIV. HIV does not have specific symptoms.

You don't need to test. If you want to test and collect your negative result, if that will make you feel better, then do it.

Boss, consumption of semen is certainly not the right mechanism of HIV transmission, the gastric acid in the stomach inhibits the virus. I hope this is logical & scientific explanation for you.

Should you feel to dispute that, you can go ahead and do that however, I'd keep saying oral sex is practically not a risk.

Give a reason why anyone would want yours?
You have already been found to be untrue and ambigous on your feelings of testing.
One minute you LIVE by CDC guidleine about tesitng...and the next you say oral sex is no risk...but they say they do

PICK ONE!

What, that he couldn't answer the question? Give me a break. He didn't put me in my place by no means. Why on earth would anyone come here to listen to you give advise when you have no idea what you are talking about jake? You don't know anything about HIV, transmission or testing. Give a reason why anyone would want your advice.
