Unprotected Oral Sex
Hello,
Months ago I had an sexual intercourse with a man where he performed unprotected oral sex to me, 5 minutes duration. I never had any symptoms but now Im paranoid about HIV risks. Searching for information on the internet just made me more paranoid. What are my risks of having HIV?
I know the only way to be 100% sure is by testing myself and Im gonna do it. But I need some expert comments now.
Thanks so much

The internet can be a bit confusing. I agree. But rest assured, you had no risk of acquiring HIV from someone performing oral sex on you. Our saliva renders the HIV virus inactive with the enzymes in it. No one has ever gotten HIV from oral sex. Feel confident that you won't either. You can always test but honestly, you do not have to as you did not risk HIV from oral sex. Best
