Advice
I had protective penetrating sex with another male. There was unprotected oral and condom did not break. Is there a need to get tested? I understand that there is no risk involved and testing is unwarranted but just wanted to double check.
Thank you for this great community

alderick gave you excellent advice, but I'd like to take it just one step further. Oral sex, while not considered a risk for HIV, can be a risk for other STD's. It has been recommended for some time now that anyone who engages in unprotected oral sex should have an STD panel done every three months as a preventive measure.

thank you very much for your kind advice
Hello, regarding HIV, oral sex is not considered a risky activity, there are no reports of people getting HIV by doing that you did. There is no need to worry or get tested.
