Chances of infection

I recently had my first Bi experiance with another man and I gave oral for aorund 1-2 minutes and even though the guy said he was clean I am getting a little worried that he may have lied and theres no way i can find out now.

I realised the next day that I had a cut in my mouth which was 3/4 days old but was pretty much healed with new skin and i had a white sore spot head( maybe a cold sore).
My question is if the guy did in fact have HIV what are the chances that I could have been infected with HIV, Im tempted to go get a HIV DUO test as its been 28 Days now but its going to cost a fair bit of money and I dont want to do it unless theres is a high enough risk?

What are your opinions?

Dont worry it wont go any deeper, I need to stop thinking of HIV, talking about HIV, reading about HIV, Im 100% clean and just need to move on.

Dude though i really do appreaciate you talking to me and chrisneedshelp, the last 4 weeks has been like crazy for me with worry and never really had anyone to discuss my fears with and to clear things up. but you answered my fears and I really do now feel like i can move on.

go deep into this?

Either way I get the picture, your telling me Im stressing for nothing and your right, theres no way I couldve caught HIV from a non-ejactualting penis even with a cut and sore in my mouth or catch it while doing any other oral act with *** or blood involved. Any symptom that may arise is purely not related to HIV only excpet in my head.

I think i need to keep telling myself this a day and Ill be at ease.

look before we go to deep into this it happened to me on my back neck chest
the dr called it follculitus that could be what you have to me stress seems to cause it i never had it before until i got so stressed worrying over hiv
and what that is is an infection in the hair particles thats all look stress can cause a lot of things to happen when i took my conclusive at 84 days all symptoms went away 5 to 8 days later

Ill be the first to admit im paranoid but since speaking to guys it has pretty much cleared my fears of having contracted HIV, but then i just noticed this rash yesterday.

I shave everyday and at first I figured it was purely becuase of that, It doesnt itch or sting and I feel perfectly fine apart form that. The rash is limited purely to my shaving area. would a HIV symtom spread/grow?

and being parinoid you will look for anything

Just to make sure, you realise that I was actually giving a blow job not recieving?

Im not worried anymore just to let you know but id just like to get some facts about oral, If say I had HIV had a bleeding cut in my mouth and i was giving a blow job, How much at risk would the recipentent be?

Yeah your right it is a high risk in the gay community, thankfully i never did anything to put myself in risk. Quick question has anyone ever contracted HIV due to pre-***? even if a open cut/sore  is thrown into the situation?

It didnt help reading lots of website saying that the is a risk of getting HIV from oral(although I think that may have been with ejactulation) but knowing I cant have contracted from precum to sore/cut really puts me at ease. I think alot of anxiety came from the encounter and guilt for doing it. The chances of the guy even having HIV to begin with is very low.

so you dont think i should get tested? I wouldnt normally worry but I had the sore in my mouth and a almost healed cut(wasnt bleeding though) plus now at the 4 week mark ive got a slight sore throat, chest infection and I had a mild fever a couple of nights ago but felt fine in the morning. I reckon its just a coincidence but I just dont know what the risk is of pre-*** to a sore for a HIV infection.

Also forgot to mention he never ejaculated in my mouth but there was more than likely some pre-*** involved, would the pre-*** be enough to spread HIV through the thin-layer of new healed skin or the white spot sore?
