Welcome to the Forum an sorry to hear of your toothache. I hope that having it extracts will resolve your difficulties. On this forum we no longer say that performing unprotected oral sex on a person with HIV is low risk, instead we say that it is virtually no risk. The quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has oral sex with an infected partner is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is too high. Some experts state there is no risk at all from oral sex. Neither of us on this site have ever seen in our practices or in reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex. This includes by all of the people who had bleeding gum disease, sore teeth, recent extractions etc.
In addition, it is unlikely that your partner has HIV. Most commercial sex workers do not have HIV.
As for your symptoms, there is a good possibility that your rash is a drug rash or some other coincidental process rather than HIV. Not only did not you not have a fever, but you did not have muscle aches, diarrhea, or a severe sore throat, all of which are part of the ARS. Further, even when people have symptoms typical of the ARS, less than 1% turn out to have HIV.
I am confident that you did not get HIV from the exposure you describe. Try not to worry., EWH
Thx. No change in my assessment of qadvice. EWH
I've almost forget: today, 2 days after I left the clamoxyl and the ibuprofen and 3 days after I realized about the skin rash, the skin rash have disappeared.
Thanks for your answer.
So then, I understand that my tooth problem makes no difference for the hiv risk and I don't need testing. Isn't it?
Could the clamoxyl and the ibuprofen have prevented the orhers ARS symptomes (fever, sore throat, diarrhea or muscle aches) from appear or it's very unlikely?
Finally, only for my knowledge, what exposure have more risk for catching HIV? Protected vaginal intercourse or unproteced oral sex?
Again, congrats for the website. I think it's a great weapon fighting unfounded fears.
