hiv through oral
hi, i know people ask these questions these questions all the time but i just whant you to answer my case. I had un protected oral sex with a guy less than 3 days ago, i remember brushing my teeth but my gums didnt bleed, i didnt have any open cuts in my mouth either. He told me had been with 3 previous guys but had used a condom each time. I dont know whether to trust him though. Do you think it is necesary for me to have a hiv test. i have beeeeen SOOOOO nervous since the incident , but feel equally nervous to have a test.
what should i do?

My result was NEG. but what does that prove? Maybe I was lucky. I am not disagreeing with oral sex is LOW risk I am saying in med. I don't think terms such as zero risk is correct. Look there are alot of people who would love to read posts like yours and their minds will use that info and go out and do things that they would never do. So I believe speading the zero risk about oral will lead some to put themselves at risk. It is not zero, it is low risk for sure but not ZERO.

"receiving" oral is theoretical risk. "giving" is documented, real risk. You can go to the CDC webpage for more info
risk is theoretical
Yep. Now look at your "no risk at all" answer. I see a difference!
