Hiv Risk From oral with tooth extraction??
Hi yesterday I gave oral sex to a man I met off the Internet. He said he was negative. Thing is I had a tooth extraction about a week ago and I was wondering would that be a risk for exposure to hiv? I read oral is low to no risk but im a little worried since the tooth extraction. He didn't ejaculate in my mouth but I'm still wondering.. The area in my mouth is still healing since the extraction happened last week so i was wondering if he did have hiv could any of the fluids get into that area and cause exposure? Really worried about this and won't make that mistake again but any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best Answer
HIV is only transmitted from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV needles to inject drugs. Oral sex is not a risk as air and saliva inactivate the virus. This includes giving oral after a tooth extraction. You had no risk for HIV at all.
