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?

Pick a side )))  The chart does suggest that giving oral is not risk-free  -  because it isn't.

what im gonna say is: oral sex will be a risk if and only if you have a FRESH sore/broken skin and it is bleeding at that time as well...the case could be: u have a sore/broken skin ( not fresh ) and are having a very hardcore oral sex that make it open and bleeding :)

Ahhh Teak, you really are sticking your neck out with this "Zero risk" stuff about oral sex. It is not Zero and you really should modifiy your responses. You are baseing it on two studies years ago. No Dr. in the world would say a person who takes infected fluid in the mouth would be at a ZERO risk of possible infection. I hope others will not engage in risky behavior base on your false postings.

Then test. You asked a question and it was answered. If it will make you feel better go test collect your negative result so you can move on.
