Performed unprotected Oral on guy
Hello:
In a matter of poor judgement, I performed brief oral sex (8-10 seconds) on a Caucasian guy in Germany. My mouth is in good health (no sores, no cuts, no flossing/ mouthwash before performing, no braces, no extractions). He did not ejaculate in my mouth, it was very brief. I am worried about any possible precum, that I did not see, that might have entered my mouth.
I read on the internet it is possible to get HIV from oral withOUT ejaculation. This scared me significantly.
The guy I performed oral on indicated he is negative as of his last test and he seems trustworthy. But, one never knows.
22 days after the incident the HIV-1 RNA Qual test and StatPAk Antibody test were negative. So, I'm feeling good that HIV-1 is ruled out.
I'm now nervous about HIV-2.
I read it was originally from West Africa, but has now spread to other parts- Germany too, although less than 1% of the population has it.
I have a cold/ sore throat (stuffy nose), for weeks. I feel like this might be a symptom of ARS.
Would it be that I have HIV-2 from this one episode?
Please help.
Thank you.

Anxiousnomore, may I ask if you are a doctor or an HIV counselor? I read the CDC and the Body and they indicated oral sex has led to transmissions, as high as 5% of transmissions in the MSM category. How can you be so sure that its NO risk?

then information you've been provided is correct. it's up to you what to believe, but members here use information from expert doctors in the field. your activity was no risk for HIV, you can move on from it. you have anxiety and are not thinking clearly from your 8-10 second event that will NEVER be considered a risk here. Not because of the length of time, but because it's not one of the three ways listed above that you could get it. No doctors are on this section either.
sorry to bump this, but I meant to say "the* information" referring to the answer given in this thread by AnxiousNoMore.
You had no risk so an HIV test would be a waste of time. People cough on your lips and door knobs so colds are to be expected at any time and having sex didn't give you special immunity against all colds except HIV related ones, so you need to accept that your self-diagnosis is not scientific.
HIV 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. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. 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. 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. The above 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.

Thank you Anxious No more. I appreciate the time you have taken to respond to my post. I was anxious, but feel better on reading your reply. I guess I can forget this, not worry about HIV-2 and just carry on.....
Yes, and you see now that you didn't have a lapse in judgement.

Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
