I had a cut on the inside of my lip while giving oral, what's the HIV risk?
Hello and good morning.. First off thank you guys for the great info you give us.. I have a quick question that I couldn't exactly find the answer to.. I gave oral sex to a African American man last night.. Before it took place I accidently pull some skin on my lip and I cut/tore it.. I saw a little blood, it wasn't to deep but it still was a cut.. I gave the man oral and he ejaculated in my mouth and I did not swallow.. I was wondering is it any way his fluids/ejaculation could have come in contact with my cut inside my lip and put me at risk? Could it some how have gotten inside the cut inside my lip? What's the risk? Should I go get tested? If so how long should I wait until I go? I have hsv2 and the doctor told me it increases the risk for HIV so I'm pretty stressed.. Please help guys.. Thanks in advance and have a blessed day.
Same answer as before.

You have a lot of fears about hiv so maybe see a therapist instead of living with all this fear every time.

Not actually, and that is two different questions they both just relate to oral sex. The old question had to do with blood in semen, and this question had to do with a cut inside me lip. Two different questions just similar situations.. Thanks anyway
And it's obvious everybody on here has fear about HIV or else they wouldn't be on here asking questions. If it was that deep trust me I would see a therapist, but shouldn't you be telling that to everybody? I was only looking for a answer from a expert like Teak. Not judgement from somebody that is making assumptions. But again thanks for the feedback.
This answers all of your HIV questions, and if you can think of any more just reread about the 3. You had zero risk therefore testing is irrelevant to your situation because you had zero risk. HIV is a fragile virus, which is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing 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 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with.
The only way to get HIV is if you did one of the 3. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. This HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk. Because of all the research statistics, doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor, therefore no one will get HIV from what you did in the next 40 years of your life either.
If you didn't have one of the 3 then you are just worrying about your own hiv theory - which is unrealistic for you to think that can become reality - so you should move on back to your happy life instead.
the questions are variations of the same issue - oral is zero risk so all the variations are zero risk.
