This has me confused and worried

I was told by Dr. HHH that there was no chance of transmitting HIV through oral but then I saw him write this on another persons post and is making me very worried

"Also, you need HIV testing (assuming you are not known to be HIV infected).  Even though oral-genital HIV transmission is rare, overall this is a high risk scenario"

Basicly the Dr. Is telling you had no HIV risk. But to get tested because its good idea for someone who is sexualy active to get tested every so often.

So quit stressing.

I want to move on but can someone please explain how Dr. HHH saying to get tested for HIV because it was a high risk situation does not have to do with HIV?

You would have to ask Dr. Hook.  There may be something I missed where this was a risk for HIV.  All I saw was roal and protected anal.  

If you want clarification, post in the expert forum, and be sure to provide the link to the thread, so the doc can reference what you are referring to.
