HIV Risk
I recently had an encounter with a positive male with cd count 900 and undetectable viral load. He is a friend. We had no penetrative sex. He gave me blowjob(Unprotected) for 10 seconds. rest we only caressed each other. Am I at risk for HIV? Should I get tested?
MedHelp adheres to the position of the CDC as well as the input of expert physicians that HIV is only transmitted through unprotected vaginal or anal sex, the sharing of needles, or from mother to child. Oral sex with or without skin irritation is not a risk for HIV. We wish you the best.
No one has ever contracted HIV from oral. You also mentioned his levels are undetectable. So No risk! Be happy.

@niklobat. Thanks bro. But I also had been masturbating heavily in last few months. Penis skin was dry but with no visible cuts. Does it post the risk and warrant testing?
Saliva doesn't transmit virus. Dry skin may be caused by irritation from heavy masturbation. I wouldn't worry about it either. You are safe
