Risk Factor Of Contracting HIV From Giving Oral Sex To A Female
I'm a 15 year old male.
In February of 2007 I proformed oral sex on a female (not sure of HIV status) about 3 or 4 times, each time lasting about 1-3 minutes. A few weeks later I got what I think may have been the flu, I had a headache, a fever, body aches and chills. I took a home test in May which came out negative.
In may I started getting hives and shortness of breath which I think may have been caused by stress.
In June my muscles started feeling weak and achey and still do in October.
From this, what do you think are the chances I contracted HIV?

6 weeks is a bit late for onset, 4 weeks is usually around the upper end.
I wouldn't concern yourself with symptoms. So many other things are a million times more common than HIV and cause the same type of symptoms (like common cold bugs and viruses).

they disappear all at once, nothing lingers with it
Cheers for the reply.
Could you tell me something else if poss?
The flu like syphtoms that you get 2-6 weeks afterwards. Do they then completely dissapear or do you carry on getting sore thoarts and so on for the months afterwards?
Thanks

You can be concerned about it all you like. You have been advised that you were never at risk for contracting HIV. It wouldn't matter if the woman had HIV or not you were never at risk.
Still quite concerned about the risk of getting HIV from giving a women oral sex. The Women in question herself would of only caught it ( thats if she even has it) giving oral to another guy so i know the risk might be low.
Can anyone help please

Out of interest as anyone got a site i can read about this to.
Thanks

Is it pointless going for a test then. I know the women that i gave oral sex 2 has only been with one other person and used protection for intercourse so she would have only caught something herself by giving oral.
It can be, and it has been documented before. But only if it involves a penis. Never a documented case of it transmitted through cunnilingus...
It only says it on websites that don't keep their websites up to date. You were given your answer now unless you have another question move on.
So why does it seem to say on every health website that HIV can be transmitted through oral sex even though the risk is low!
Hi there,
It has been established that HIV transmission takes place in four ways :
1. Unprotected sexual intercourse wIth an infected partner
2. Blood transfusion wIth contaminated blood and blood products
3. Sharing contaminated syringes and needles
4. From infected mother to child during pregnancy, at birth or through breast
feeding
You are not in any of the above. Those you read is only a theory but has not happened.

Yea Zebba...I know... I was TRYING to put it in perspective for you...But I guess you're not getting the picture. Forget the second paragraph in my previous post then and concentrate on the first.
I am talking about giving oral to a women , not a man and the risk of getting HIV from it.
should read "If a person is giving oral to a man or a man is receiving oral from somebody with HIV"
No...You are incorrect Zebba. There has never been a confirmed case of transmission through cunnilingus.
If you want to talk about guys getting oral or giving oral. There is a tiny risk. Giving oral to a man would put the person at 1 in 50,000. A man recieving oral... Risk = 1 in 100,000... That's if the person was infected.

I think you are getting confused with someone receiving the oral sex. I know you cannot get anything say if i had oral sex from a women but i thought you can get it if you give them the oral sex because you are coming in to contact with thre vagina.
On most sights is says you can get infected from oral aswell. I am confused now?

It's 0. There's never been a confirmed case of someone contracting HIV from performing oral on a female.
Why would you say zero?
I gave oral sex to a girl nearly 6 months ago and in the last 6 months seemed to have had a lot of sore thoarts and colds aswell as a stiffness in my toes so i have been slightly worried myself
