HIV And STD Fear

Hello

I went to a backpage girl on 19 and 21 Jan and Did unprotected oral sex. We both had spent enough time on licking each other.
1) I want to know what are my chances of HIV assuming she has HIV?
2) Today I went to My GP and explained the situation, he said he will do test after another 1 week. Why he didnt do today?
3) Also what are my chances for other STDs.
4) i had a pimple like openings for on my body 3 days back.

Zero risk for HIV even if she is positive. You are so safe you don't need to test. There is an std forum for best info on std.
No idea why your doc would test you for HIV since it makes no more sense than testing to see if she made you pregnant.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.
Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with. This sentence is all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established.
No one got HIV from touching or oral activities in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life either.

I am still very anxious that why didn’t my doctor told me upfront that there is no chance for HIV.
Why he is doing test next week for HIV?
Can I be 100% assured and relax that I don’t have HIV alteast.
Reread the advice especially about the 40. Perhaps you should consider another doctor.

Don't worry about HIV.  You can't get HIV from oral sex.  The only way you get HIV is from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles.  Maybe your doctor was talking about an STD screening.  While it's not huge, there is a risk for std's through oral sex.  But if this is a girl you know and not a high risk person, then I'd not suspect she has an STD.  While anyone can have one, the chances lower with someone you have known.  Get tested to be sure but I wouldn't waste sleep on it.  But as far as HIV is concerned, absolutely no risk.

The girl was a sex worker without a known status. I am very anxious for HIV and any STD.
Unlike you, she knows how to protect herself from HIV so she did it. Unfortunately you will continue to live in fear as long as you don't accept the reality of how HIV is spread.

You have ignored all the advice here and continue to discuss your incorrect theories of how HIV is spread, so I don't know why you came here and asked for advice since your mind was made up in advance.
