Oral sex, penis cut

I received oral sex 8.5 weeks ago from a lady. Near the end she " teethed" me. I noticed afterward that I had a small skin cut just above the penis head that was bleeding. Am I to worry? Is it true that she would have to be bleeding in her mouth for it to be a problem. I understand the saliva isn't an issue

Oral swab test does not test saliva it extracts cells from the gums.

My question is although the proteins and enzymes inhibit transmission does HIV still exist in the saliva.... a doctor told me that is does a few days ago and I was just wondering if that was true! he also said that is why they do mouth swabs for HIV testing because it does exist!!! im really not understanding why you guys say something totally different from what doctors say!

Magic Johnson played after finding out he was HIV positive. Played in the all-star game, Olympics and then the following NBA season.

Cut here cut there...cuts after they stop bleeding start healing, but you also need a direct route to the blood stream a simple cut is not going to give the transmission route. You need a very deep, heavly bleeding cut and mix that with someone else of the same nature who is HIV positive for the start of a risk.

Oral sex is not a risk due to the fact that saliva has proteins and enzymes that inhibit the transmission.

let me ask you if there is no risk of contracting HIV from oral sex then how is there any risk from regular sex.  Can't HIV be transmitted through blood, so if there is a cut on the penis and a cut in the mouth of an HIV positive person, wouldn't there be a risk of contracting HIV from oral sex?  There might be a really low risk, but still a risk none the less.  Doesn't this go back to not letting athletes compete in sports who are HIV positive
