Received unprotected oral + STD

[Spain77]

Hi All,

25 days ago I received unprotected oral sex from a local sex worker in Kenya. She also did some rimming and I fingered her. (No vagina/anal intercourse)

3-4 days later I could feel some itching/inconvenience around the penis head but could not locate anything visually. (Did some STD tests but all negative one week after encounter... Which was apparently too early)
Today by looking closely to the inside of the urethra I discovered a chancroid as the inconvenience was still there.

I know from reading different posts here that receiving oral is not transmitting HIV.

Now it is said that STD can facilitate HIV transmission.

Assuming that the sex worker was HIV+, what are the chances for me to get HIV, assuming that she transmitted me this STD ? (As by doing so, HIV could be transmitted jointly.)

I'm very worried because I suppose that in order for me to get this chancroid she must have had some chancres in her mouth and thus allowing HIV via this "open door" in her mouth to reach the head of my penis.

(This chancroid is itching/slightly painful and appeared quite rapidly after 3-4 days. Syphilis chancre are said to be painless and appear a few weeks after contact...)

Many Thanks for your answers.

That is exactly what I said.

Sorry, but english not being my mother language,
by saying this you mean there is absolutely no need for HIV testing in this particular case ?

Many thanks for your support.

I never recommend peace of mind testing.

[Spain77]

OK. Sorry about this.

So to conclude and to be able to go on with life, you confirm there is absolutely no need for HIV testing in this particular case ? (except for peace of mind)

Many thanks for everything.

All STD questions have to be posted in the STD forum.

[Spain77]

OK.

So absolutely non need for HIV testing ?

Full STD test to be done I assume ?

Many thanks for your help.

We don't deal with "What ifs" on this forum. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.

Many thanks for your reply Teak;
One more question though:

If she carries, due to the combined STD/HIV infection, a higher viral load due to the stress on the immune system, considering that she had chancres in her mouth and considering the fact that recent results identify the male urethra as a novel entry site for HIV-1 that targets resident urethral macrophages, could this not lead to HIV infection ?

If the urethra seem to be more fragile/sensitive, combined with a higher viral load and "open doors" (chancres) in her mouth, would it still be insufficient for HIV to be transmitted ?

(forgot to mention that she was also wearing a piercing on the upper lip, although I could not see any blood in her mouth)

Many thanks for your reply.

HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.
