Oral and bad hygeine

I know I am probably just freaking out but, the exposure I had was giving oral to a man who said they where hiv- but, I do not know for sure. Prior to this incident I rarely brushed my teeth and but I have no oral problems . And I do not think I had any cuts in my mouth. I know I shouldn't be worried but, I need re assurance that I had no risk.

I hate being a bother but, for final clarification when sites say bad oral hygiene posing a risk for oral they are referring to some sort of oral trauma like notifiable bleeding wounds or if you had dental surgery. I swear I will leave after this.

How are little red pimples related to HIV?  Don't forget that this is the summer time and random skin rashes are quite common during the summer months due to the heat and sun exposure.  If anything just see a dermo if these pimples are bothering you.

Thanks for answering my questions I read posts that where archived and now know I was never at risk. And the only way someone could get hiv from oral is if they had major dental surgery or had large noticeable bleeding open wounds  in their mouth. And canker sores and mouth ulcers do not increase the chance becuase, their is no chance. I wrote that last sentence becuase I think I have both a canker sore and maybe a mouth ulcer, I could be wrong. But, it should be helpful for others to know performing oral sex is no risk unless you have  major dental surgery or had large noticeable bleeding open wounds  in their mouth. I am now not going to return to this site so goodbye and thank you Teak.

I know I may be just paranoid but, and should not look online for symptoms but, I have been noticing red little pimples over my chest but, not  a lot of them a couple by my collarbone and a couple near my nipple and armpit. The ones near my callorbone itched once and I scratch it and there was a red rash for about an hour and then it went away.  Also I had a white toungue but I noticed this three days after my incident. Also I had diarrhea that week of the incident and then it went kind of went away then it came back the third week and then after that week it went away. I never had a fever this whole time either. I just needed to tell someone for catharsis sake and to get an opinion.

I know this probably won't change the answer but, I brushed my teeth about 15 mins after the incident.

oh I also forgot to add he did not ejaculate but there may have been pre-*** and I also spit on it his penis before i gave oral, would the enzymes in my mouth kill the virus, if he had it?
