unprotected oral sex - bleeding gums and cut on penis

Hi, some time ago i received unprotected oral sex from a hooker. If she had bleeding gums or a cut in her mouth, and I had a cut on my penis, would i be at risk for HIV? For the purposes of this example, lets assume that her bloody mouth went over the cut on my penis during oral sex. Can i get HIV from this?

Thank you!

You never had a risk and had you took the time to read what was posted you would have known you didn't have a risk.

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

Thanks, I have read that before. But i was thinking my question might be different because blood may have been involved from BOTH parties involved in the activity. (not just one or the other)

Please answer this directly - if i receive oral sex from someone who is bleeding in the mouth, and I also have a cut on my penis, am i at risk? Why or why not?

I always thought that HIV was transmitted via blood - not trying to be rude or anything, I am just having some trouble figuring this out. If I am bleeding, and come in contact with blood from a HIV+ person, wouldn't i get HIV?

Thanks!

No your question wasn't any different.

so how much blood would have to be involved for there to be a transfer?

a drop? a pint? a bucket?

[jfitz482]

sorry, i think you have the wrong guy. I just created this account to post this question, I was not a member before now

Do you think mfitz is a coincidence?

[jfitz482]

I don't have any idea what you're talking about, please run the ip on both of those accounts and im sure you will come up with two different addresses most likely from different provinces.

Anyway, i thank you for your help, but to get back on track - i am wondering how much blood would have to be transferred in order to cause a concern. I just want to know if i should get tested

OK, thank you Teak! Sorry that we obviously got off on the wrong foot.

Thanks again for your help and all that you do here, it's truly appreciated.
