Possible Blood Exposure

I previously asked this question but didn't specifically address my concern that blood was very likely on his fingers and could have entered my vagina or anus during masturbation.  I am a black female and over the summer I engaged in oral sex and mutual masturbation three times with a white male former heroin user. I asked if he was clean and he said yes. This is the exposure:  he performed cunninglingus on me fingered me both anally and vaginally; I gave him a hand job and licked the shaft (not the tip) of his penis. At no point did we have anal or vaginal intercourse. I do believe he has herpes or some other problem as when I was giving him a hand job I saw a red polyp near his anus that was  bleeding slightly.

One month after our last encounter I lost my appetite and had mild diarrhea for more than a weak. I had no fever and no swollen lymph nodes, but over the course of the past few months I have had a recurring yeast infection.  

What is my risk?  Do I need to test?

You did not have a risk. But if you are still worried talk to your Dr. about if testing is needed.

As you've been told 5 months earlier you had no HIV risk and therefore don't need HIV test and the symptoms have therefore no relations whatsoever with HIV.

HIV can't get through small wounds, they need to be so big that the bearer should actually be hospitalised instead of performing sex. Plus saliva inhibits HIV transmission be it to the giver or to the receiver.

I suggest you consult a doctor and stop scrambling for HIV stuffs on the net if you do so, because there's quite a lot of misinformation be it exaggerated and/or outdated. If you worry of getting STD, I suggest you go over to the STD forum here on MedHelp because we deal with HIV prevention only.
