Oral sex is not considered a risk for HIV. Saliva contains digestive enzymes that are a hostile environment for the virus and therefore it renders it inactive and unable to infect.

But also, you can't get infected by your own blood. You said the blood you found was yours and therefore there's no risk. But even if it was his, it wouldn't matter. HIV is a virus that can only infect while inside the body because the outer shell of the virus starts breaking down immediately upon contact with air.

Thanks a lot...I feel a little better abt it...maybe I am just too nervous...I didn't give him oral sex because I was too scared of his semen...I think I should ask him to have a test before we book the room...but is it too overreacting? I know we are not going to have intercourse in any situation...and he agrees too..
Only sex risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal so you don't have to worry about oral or any form of touching.
A test might be a good idea in case you change your minds about what you will do, otherwise you can use a condom as long as it isn't lambskin.
not sure if you will see this if I reply here..not really femiliar with this website but...Sincerely, thanks a lot...<3
