> CUNNILINGUS with DRY MOUTH

Hi to everyone...On September 1th I performed cunnilingus on a black pronstitute, and I'm pretty sure there wasn't any blood involved...Anyway, I was  drunk and  my mouth was pretty dry as I remember (did saliva still there?? I'm scared and THIS is my main concern).

- On September 3 or 4 I had an herpes on my lip which gone away after a couple of days BUT I've been suffering from herpes (like my mother) for  ten years (I'm 28) and they happen at least a couple of times a year in my lips, always when I'm experiencing very stressful situations or due to the sun at the sea, and the first week after my risky episode i almost NEVER sleeped and it has been the worst week of my life so far, a total nightmare like nothing before.

- On September 16 I had a sore throat (not much strong) for a couple of days and then immediately after I had a cold that last for 8/10 days (it was "strong" only the first two days, WITHOUT fever, no sneezing, just a typical cold with runny nose, mucos and a light sinusitis which happens to me quite often when I catch a cold. I used a standard flurbiprofen collutory for the throat and some paracetamol for the cold....COULD paracetamol "HAVE HIDDEN" the fever???It's not a strong drug, it's called "Tachifludec" here in Italy where I live, and It's usually indicated for flu-like symptoms but as I'm reading around it's not properly used to low the temperature, it's more like for sore throath, cold-runny nose and general symptoms)
- Then on October 15 I had another light sore throat episode (it's getting better now after taking the flurbiprofen colluttory)

I'm worried and a personal reply would be really appreciated, because I haven't talked with anyone about this and I fell alone and really scared...therefore, as DR. Hook says "no risk an no reason for testing" I do not need a test, right? Because I wouldn't survive waiting for results...
Moreover, can I continue having sex with my usual partner? Please, I really need to be reassured and if you could just answer that "A TEST WOULD NOT BE NEEDED" I would be extremely grateful!! :)...
Thank you all !

ps after the encounter I spoke a couple of times with the pronstitute. She told me she tested negative on the end of July 2013. She has three child, she's been living in my country for ten years...Just telling this because she seems a good person to me...

Even if your mouth was dry it would contain saliva and also symptoms that you may be having are not related to this incident.Yes of course you can have unprotected sex with your partner because she is not at risk for HIV.

Thanx Rainlover71, but I didn't tell I have oral thrush, i was just asking about a suspect I have! (because again I read here on medhelp that oral thrush can be transmitted with cunnilingus and also that it can be a sign of HIv ars)

Oral thrush has nothing to do with HIV and you had no risk,just get the thrush treated and then you can continue sex with your partner.

Soap?? I'm talking about ORAL THRUSH (oral candidiasis), as I wrote in my previous comment (the thing about my tongue being a little white or at least not much red, too bright to me)....And I read that it can be contracted through cunnilingus...and that it can also be a sign of hiv...

You can contract thrush from using the wrong soap,it has nothing to do with HIV.

Ok, thanks! So what about the Thrush issue, what do you think about it? Can someone contract the thrush alone with cunnilingus, do you think thrush is my case? Thank you so much for your patience! :)

No risk whatever spin you put on it--HIV is not transmitted via oral sex and studies have provided proof of this.

IMPORTANT: I forgot to mention that 3/5 days after the event I notice my tongue is a little white on the back part (opposite the tip) and on the sides (always on the back), but it doesn't hurt and that  white thing doesn't come of if I rub it with my tootbrush...It's still like this now, still no pain (40 days after)...could it be THRUSH?? Because I'm afraid that the sore throath I'm experiencing now may depend on that...?
Thank you

Thank you so much for your answer!
Ok saliva in my mouth destroys HIV cells but what if my mouth was dry (with no or very poor saliva)? Anything to say about my "symptoms"?
And finally, considering everything I've written about my experience, can I avoid testing and can I continue unprotected sex with my partner and move on once and for all??
THANK YOU!

You can't contract HIV from oral sex because the saliva in your mouth destroys HIV cells.It doesn't matter with you had a dry mouth or open wounds because the mouth can't sustain HIV.

Hello,
focus on this :

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host, except under laboratory conditions. HIV does not survive in the open air.

Hiv can only be transmitted through :
-unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration
-from mother to child
-by sharing drug works

Apparently you weren't exposed. Keep calm
