cunnilingus
A simple question: why the cunnilingus is considered sure, and the insertive vaginal intercourse is considered at risk?
It is very frequent having small cuts in mouth (for example, after to have washed the teeth): why the active subject doesn't risk?
It seems more risky that, than a vaginal insertive with a skin-intact penis.
What do you think about it?

Regardless, doesn't change anything. You're splitting hairs. Let it go. If worried, get ONE test at between 6-8 weeks. For sure it will be negative. And stop reading other websites except this one.

Thanks a lot.
But I must specify that my anxiety comes from a vaginal intercourse (20-30 seconds) with a suspect condom breakage with a sex worker (there is a question of mine to the Doc one month ago).
That's the why I try to calm myself thinking about the low (o close to zero) risk of such a contact.
Thank you all.

You're right! there aint no guarantees in life. Everyone thinks that they might be the 1/2000 chance. but that number is based on you having the same risky act on a repeated number of occurences. If this was your ONLY time, you would be OK!!
But, conversely do you know what the meaning of 'splitting hairs means?' The Doc would surely say you are doing just that! It means that you are actively looking for reasons that are in your favor to make them reasons against you!
Look at what the Doc said about cunnilingus and why it is NOT in the table..

"Granted, this hasn't been studied much--but the reason it hasn't been studied is that it seems to be too low risk to make it worthwhile to do any research."

I don't think he's just guessing. He's a MEDICAL doctor, a world reknowned RESEARCH expert on the RISK AND probability of STD transmission, including HIV!!. Now, if you don't believe him, then GO GET TESTED!!! at 4 weeks then between 6-8 weeks. Then you will need mental health counseling for sure even if you cannot believe in your negative results.
You will be NEGATIVE at ALL..and it won't be a waste of money, since you will be satisfied, mentally, hopefully. We understand your anxiety.. We've ALL been through it and are going through it to some degree. It's understandable, since we all have varying (most of us have very little) knowledge and understanding on the relevant risk factors and probability of HIV and STD transmission. Just try to listen to the logic side of your brain, and NOT the emotional RP, and take each day at a time, and try to convince yourself you DO NOT have HIV. Good luck!

I widely agree with you, nothing is definitive.
But, if a Tab. says that "insertive vaginal" is 5/10000, and says nothing about cunnilingus, I think it's natural to wonder about it.
My personal opinion is thath blood (even not visible) is always necessary for infection.
I hope not to make a mistake!

Jesus. Are you this worried about whether a meteor is going to strike your house?
I think counseling is in order. Staying home and masturbating is all well and good, but a satisfying and fulfilling life generally involves other people.
