Oral sex and canker sore (apthous ulcer)....

[Shaq77]

Hello,

I recently had several nights of sexual experience with a girl that I would not necessarily consider high risk, but she at first was not very interested to use a condom, so that might raise some questions. That being said, I used a condom every time during intercourse (except for briefly (half a minute) at the start, but I soon pulled out and put one on so I dont believe this part was so risky, right?). What I am really concerned about, however, was the fact that I performed cunnulingus on her several times when I had a fairly large canker sore (apthous ulcer) on my tongue. I am just wondering in general what the risks of this kind of encounter would be if she were HIV positive (which is not at all certain)? Is HIV transmissable through a canker sore and should I be wary of this in future encounters? Thanks for your insight.

Zero. No, risk, your dipping could however put you at risk for STDs.

Hi Teak. Thanks for the advice man. I'm just wondering if you could clarify though a little. Why would it be that a canker sore wouldnt be a viable entry point for HIV? Is it just not an open track to the bloodstream? I get these pretty often, and it would be nice to know that I dont have to worry every time I go down on a girl and I have canker sore on my tongue? Any clarification would be most appreciated.
