Oral Sex

I gave a man oral sex yesterday. He didn't ejaculate in my mouth but I did taste some pre-ejaculate. Today I woke up with a super soar throat - I couldn't get symptoms of an STI so early right?

I have read other posts on here where they claim that oral sex isn't a risk of transmitting HIV - I don't understand why not if it is an exchange of fluids? In Europe they do caution it as a risk. Can any one clarify why it's not risky?

Oh ok, thank you. Ps. I saw in one post earlier, you had posted a series of research articles with regards to HIV and oral sex - I can't seem to find the post anymore - if you have them readily available, please post them here so I can take a look at them.

Thank you

oh I understand. So with regards to STI's - too early for symptoms right? Probably just a sore throat or too rough?
