unprotected oral from hiv infected person..

Hi I hope I can get some advise from medhelp. 5 days ago I was realy intoxicated and I received a blow job from a street sex worker. Drug addict to. We both were intoxicated and I had a blow job for maybe 20 min. When I noticed blood on my penis I stop.. She later confess she was hiv positive.i usuly dont do that. I have a beautiful one year baby and a wife I love. but I was out drinking with a friend and he got me into that while I was way to intoxicated. I guess I shouldnt blame no one from my actions but that what it is..we are out of town worker and I screwed up.actualy its first time I ever cheat on her . I love her and I regret it. 5 days later I have diarhea.. Dry mouth and abdominal cramps.those cramps are on and off since day 3.iam pretty sure I got hiv from her since the blood.and I have herpes from 10 years ago so everything is against me. Any advise?

Saliva inhibits HIV transmission.Porn star cameron bay performed oral sex many times whilst infected with HIV & never passed on the virus to any of her fellow performers,neither did her boyfriend.

None. Why? HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.
No incident HIV infections among MSM who practice exclusively oral sex.

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who believe that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
"HIV is not spread by masturbation, through oral sex, through kissing or other casual contact." Dr. Hook
"The observation on thousands and thousands of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK
"I would not say your risk ,if he had HIV is "slim to none"- that's too high.  I would say they are effectively zero.  How much of his ejaculate or other genital  secretions you may have swallowed makes no difference.  EWH "
"As far as HIV is concerned, there is no known risk of getting HIV from performing oral sex on an infected partner, even if that person's genital secretions get into your eyes or if you swallow." Dr.Hook
HIV is not spread by oral sex, giving or receiving, even if sores, gum disease or blood is present
DR HOOK
The fact is that there are no cases in which HIV has been proven to be transmitted by oral sex, including fellatio..  EWH
