Insertive oral sex.. and blood?

I received oral sex from a sex worker last week and ejaculated in her mouth. When cleaning up I noticed some blood on the tip of my penis, and the shaft.

15 minutes later I went to the toilet and found a little bit of drying cum in my underwear that had leaked out of my penis after the event.... this also had a little blood in it.

So... now i'm freaking out a little. If the blood was her's, and she had HIV... what are the chances of blood from her mouth infecting me with HIV through the tip of my penis?

Thanks for your help guys. (I've got a STI/HIV check booked for 17 days post event... I'm just losing my mind slightly right now!!)

Would you get tested at all?

NO. You didn't have an exposure and don't need to be wasting other people's time and resources for a non-risk issue.

no saliva has many anzymes and proteins which inactive and destroy the virus in the blood immediately.

I thought the low risk for oral focused on saliva? If blood is present in the mouth does the risk not increase?

I agree with Teak.  You risk is close to zero.  The mouth is a hostile environment for HIV.  There are enzymes and other components of saliva which make it a difficult place for HIV to survive. The quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has or receives oral sex with an infected partner is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is too high. Some experts state there is no risk at all from oral sex.  Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex.  This includes by all of the people who had gum disease, sores or bleeding in their mouths, etc.
