PLEASE HELP!!!
Back in Feb, I received unprotected oral. I just got tested Wednesday before last, but I'm still waiting on the results (it is like hell)! Anyway, I didn't notice any blood or anything in his mouth. Do you think the result is negative? Please help, I am freaking out here!! Thanks.
So do I really have anything to be worried about? I am still kind of worried and I don't even feel sick.
Ok. Just one more question, and I won't ask anymore. Again, I do wanna thank all of you all for your replies. But what's the chance or probablity if he had blood in his mouth? (I promise that is the last question).
Well, what if a little blood was present (I honestly didn't notice), do I have something to worry about then?
Think of it this way. The highest risk for insertive oral that is quoted is 1/20000, which accounts for cases were there is blood in the receptive partners mouth. That risk is a theoretical risk estimate- there are no confirmed cases to support. Many think that number is way too high. But suppose for the sake of argument it's valid. Then combine that with the odds your partner was infected, no higher than 1/10.
So, your risk would be something that 1/200,000. To put that into context, that is lower than your lifetime risk of dying from a lightning strick (1/80,000), and over 100 times lower than your risk of dying in an accident THIS YEAR.
And HIV has no specific symptoms, so you are wasting your time worrying about normal variations in human body sensations.

Thank you all for the replies. But the next morning, my neck was hurting, and I could turn it one way, but couldn't turn it the other way, and right now, I just discovered that my right hand starts to hurt whenever I lean it onto something. So what does that mean, though? And also what is the chances that he had blood or something in his mouth? Please help! Thanks!

Nonbeliever is right. Nobody ever contacted HIV via recetive oral. It is a "zero" risk behavior, you are going to collect your "negative" test report very positively because you were never at risk due the situation you described.
you would be the first in history to get infected that way, stop worrying, no test was needed, will bet a month's salary it will be neg if that was your only risk
