Oral hiv exposure. Please respond!!! I'm desperate.

Hello, I had an unprotected oral sex without ejaculation, with a male of unknown hiv status. Since that day I have had increased anxiety about the incident. At the time of the oral sex I was getting over a cold and had a slight sore throat. There were no known cuts or sores in my mouth though. I also believe that there was very little pre-ejaculate as well. Today, 5 weeks and 2 days since the incident, I went to the health department and got a rapid hiv 1/2 test done (the finger prick one), the results were negative. I know I need to get retested. But how likely is it that my results will stay negative at the 8 week, and 12 week mark?

You didn't have a risk to begin with. Oral sex , with or without cuts and sores, isn't a risk for hiv. You didn't need to test in the first place. You can take your test result as good and move on. No further testing is needed. Be well.

Relax ! Your HIV risk is non-existent. Oral sex does not expose you to the infection. HIV is transmitted through unprotected vaginal and / or anal sex when we talk about its sexual routes of transmission.

You do not need any test for this particular incident. You are fine

Thank you so much for your response! I'm just so nervous that I could have contracted HIV. Yesterday night I began to break out in small slightly raised bumps on various places on my legs lower back and lower abdominal area. They were very itchy. Could this be a sign of late onset are symptoms?

You had no risk, therefore no it's not related at all.
