HTLV is a lymptomatic ailment, quite similar to HIV when it takes hold of lymph nodes. HTLV is something else.

HIV is a std but this is of a different ailment so no.

HTLV is another name for HIV (old school wording for HIV) but this is not the case at all. Unprotected oral does not result in this at all. You had protected intercourse and you had no risk at all.
