Can HIV Be Contracted Through Unprotected Oral Sex?
Question: A sex worker tried to suck my penis before I got the condom on I pushed her away an wiped the spit off my penis I then put the condom on and she sucked it again 3 weeks later I had night sweats at 5 weeks I had a white tongue I went to my doctor after I had scraped it off the doctor said there was no sign of in faction I told her that 3 weeks ago I was on antibiotics she thought this might have caused thrush and gave me nystatin. my tongue has long white taste buds. At 6weeks from possible exposure I took a oraquick at home test it was negative then again at 7 weeks again negative I'm really scared the spit from her mouth may be her bottom lip was only on there for a second I can't believe this happened it's the first time I've done this please let me know if there's a chance I'm not +
today I found a red sore at the corner of my tongue I'm very scared
The sore is from the thrush its a very scary symptom

Brief Answer:
the risk is negligible
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
The risk for infection by such contact is negligible so you should not be worried about HIV or hepatitis. Only if there was open sore in her mouth and prolonged contact between penis and saliva,it may raise this risk a bit but still this would be less than 1:100 000. Your tongue changes are not typical signs of STD and I dont think this is related to your intercourse. It may be fungal infection but also, lack of vitamin D, iron or B12 may lead to this as well. SO I think it will subside in short time and you should not worry about HIV at all. WIsh you good health. Regards
