So to sum up:

Having a fresh cut on my hand and on my lips, giving a guy with lots of precum a handjob and blowjob, having his precum come into direct contact with these fresh cuts on my hand and lips

Is a NO RISK situation to be infected with HIV/AIDS

Even if the guy was recently infected (and did not know) and/or has a very very high viral load.

And testing would not be necessary.

Have I understood clearly?

What about hepatitis B?

Nope! Regardless of the guys status or viral load, you cannot be infected in this way. You really don't need to worry or test over this incident. If you do want to talk to a doctor, i know of one forum called dr.tan & partners. They are highly qualified doctors from singapore, or the thebody.com, Best thing would be to go see a doctor, you can really express all your concerns. But i'm expecting them to give you the same reply.

I agree with all the other commentators. You were at no risk from a practical perspective. You will find risk statistics for all sorts of reasons but these are usually academic. There probably is even a risk statistic for sharing utensils at something like 1:10000000000000. That's because academics and clinicians cannot state 100%. However I repeat oral sex is for practical reasons free of HIV risk but other much more common STD's can be passed on during this activity.

If you want peace of mind, at the end of the day, only you can decide if you want to test.

One last thing (then I will really stop since I am as tired as you are about this situation, trust me...)

What if the guy was newly infected and/or had a very very high viral load, does that have any impact on the risk?

Thank you one last time

Thank you. I meant no disrespect and do not intend to offend anyone.

I have just done something stupid with which I needed assistance to deal with. Unfortunately there are no reliable doctors that I could ask personally so I am forced to seek the help I need from people like you and vance.

I did not ask "over and over" because I don't trust any of you, and not because I am mentally ill and need a therapist.

Thank you all again for the support I needed.

Your question has been asked AND answered several times by Vance and you need to MOVE ON since you are unable to accept his knowledgably accurate response.

The "Ask A Doctor" forum has been closed, so if you insist on speaking with a doctor, then may I suggest you go see yours.

Vance also included a link that you need to read again, or possibly for the first time. I have included it again for your perusal.

Vance most assuredly does NOT need ME to back him up, but I concur with his COMPLETE assessment 100%.......as will all of us who contribute to this forum.

We wish you the very best

I was typing out my query before your therapist comment.

2 weeks ago I met this guy.
- I gave him a handjob.
- I also put his penis in my mouth for a few seconds.

- He was uncircumcised.
- He had A LOT of precum.

- I had a cut on my finger. The kind that you get from thick plastic, like something thats laminated. It was quite fresh and on the back of my index finger (not the inside of my hand).
- the guys precum did come into contact with the cut.
- I washed the finger 15-20 after the escapade.

- also, I bite my lips. So I had cuts on my lips when I put his precum soaked penis in my mouth for +- 45 seconds to a minute...

What are my chances of contracting HIV/AIDS at any point in my encounter?

I have to get tested for hiv and hepatitis B in a few weeks/months in order to be able to relocate overseas. I am just concerned about the one time escapade and the impact that it could have on my plans.

Again I apologise for repeating this question.

Thanks to anyone and everyone who can help me out.

I feel you should seek a therapist if you can't accept our answers that have been typed over and over again and again.

I would like to do one last verification. I know it seems repetitive but this is a platform to gain knowledge and, I am sure, peace of mind as well.

I feel for the sake of my psychological well being I need to put this out there one more time. Please bear with me.

Hi there. I spoke with you a few weeks ago. Thanks again for your insightful help.

Could you direct me to the forum where dr's are available?

I hope not to offend you but I would like one last clarification about my issue. It was one isolated lapse in judgement that could cost me a lot, almost everything...
