Again,sorry..

I asked the doctor this, now i would really appreciate your guys' view on this:



Okay well first off, I'd like to apologize for this question because i see its one you've answered many time before. On October 17th 2008, i met a girl of unknown HIV status and she gave me oral sex, and i performed cunnilingus on her. It was outside and i had cracked lips in the cold weather ( don't ask why we were outside). I am 16, and she was 16, but the next day , I heard from many people that she was HIV positive. Whether she was or not, it still brought on major anxiety, I don't go a day without thinking and worrying that i may have contracted HIV.Now the other thing is, is that i brushed my teeth when i got home approximately 20 minutes afterwards. I have read that this increases the chance of contraction. I also had a hangnail which was in contact with her secretions during the act. On other websites such as the CDC, they say HIV through oral sex is very possible. Everybody on this website, including you ,have such high doubts that HIV can be spread through cunnilingus.  I am absolutely horrified of contracting it, and even to go get tested seems to really up the anxiety, So here are my questions:

1)Do torn cuticles and brushing your teeth 20 minutes after cunnilingus greatly increase your chance of   contraction?

2) Why is everybody on this website so sure that its nearly impossible as opposed to other websites?

3)Do you recommend  me to get tested?

4)Are cracked lips really a problem?

5)I had a fever and other flu symptoms minutes after the event, and if HIV dies quickly in the air, then wouldn' t it die during oral sex? How long does it take for HIV to become inactive?

6)Does saliva really inactivate HIV? And finally, through all of my struggle with anxiety and this whole event, I have made the decision to follow a career in this field, how do i get started?

I know this may have been annoying and frustrating for you to answer, but I sincerely appreciate it . Thanks.
