Used Condom While Having Sex. Worried About HIV And STD. Is Oral Sex Risky?
Question: Dear Doctor,
I had sex with a sex-worker recently (2 days back). Though I used condom for vaginal intercourse we had a bare oral session where the worker performed on my penis with lots of saliva.
Since then I am worried regarding transmission of HIV and other STDs. We also did mouth to mouth kissing.....there are no open sores on my penis or mouth..didnt see anything on her as well. Is oral sex bare too risky. The sex worker was not a road side girl but one who charges about 5000 INR.
To clear my doubts what tests should I undertake and when? What are my chances of infection - STDs and HIV. Can HIV transmit like this?
Thanks XXXXXXX

Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
HIV virus are generally not present in saliva, or if present, it is present only in negligible amount.
Thus if only sex worker has performed oral sex with your penis, chances of transmission are negligible.
But if you have performed oral sex with her vagina and she is HIV positive, chances of transmission are present.
If you don't develop any signs and symptoms, test for STD is not required.
You should get HIV tested after 3 months, and if negative repeat monthly up to 6 months.
If you have further query, please feel free to ask.
With good wishes,

Thanks for the reply.
Only the sex worker performed oral on my penis. I did not indulge in oral sex on her vagina.
When you are saying that there is very low risk of HIV transmission in this case, still you suggest a HIV test? Further, do I have to wait for 3 months? Nowadays I read the 28 day tests are done as well.
Are there any examples or precedents where the person got infected with Hiv because of oral sex on penis performed by a woman? Is it common in India.....Further, i do not know the status of the sex worker - whether she suffered from any infection or not...
On STDs...what are the symptoms I should look at...so that I know I need testing....how long would it take symptoms to appear (if any). Is it likely that a STD may develop? Or chances are low generally?
What tests are required in case of symptoms....do normal path labs do STD testing?
Thanks for reading so many of my questions. I would appreciate response.
Many thanks XXXXXXX

Hi,
Welcome again,
I am recommending HIV test so that you will be mentally free from anxiety.
Though the test can be done after 28 days, but it is more reliable after 3 months.
STD or HIV transmission can occur only, if your partner is infected with it. STD can be transmitted by oral sex with your penis.
Signs and symptoms depends on type of infection. If you develop any lesion on your penis, you should consult your doctor. He will prescribe you tests required depending upon examination.
Examples are not present in my knowledge.
If you have further query, please feel free to ask.
