Precum FLuids

Hi, I read in many public and official means that precum fluid is one of the ways to contract HIV. Then, reading and posting here, it seems that that info is wrong or has no support. What is correct? Do I was at risk if I had contact with precum fluid for about 10 secs? Is that enought fluid to transmit hiv? Would a 40 day test be conclusive in this particular case and risk?
Thanks and regards.

Lets start with your last question...3 months is the only time you can obtain a conclusive test from a risk.

What was your contact?

I had the same "exposure" as you did. Oral sex ended up in a multitude of research about possibility of transmission through pre-cum. The answer is, no there is not enough amount of the virus in pre-cum to be able to infect you. Two studies have isolated HIV in pre-ejaculatory fluid. Epidemiological evidence implicates only blood, semen, vaginal and cervical secretions, and breast milk as sources of transmission (See: http://health.columbia.edu/files/healthservices/pdf/GHAP_HIV_Aids_Handbook.pdf)
Even if there was significant amount of the virus in pre-cum (which is HIGHLY UNLIKELY), your saliva contains enzymes which have inactivated it.

Three months after the "exposure" I went for the test and it came out negative. I know everyone is different, but I have to let you know that losing your sleep over fearing of getting HIV from oral sex is not worth it. The experts here in this forum have never heard or read any convincing case of HIV transmission through oral sex. Various studies in the world have also concluded that oral sex is NOT a source of transmission of the virus.
