Can HIV Infection Be Transmitted Through Unprotected Oral Sex?

default
Posted on Tue, 27 Sep 2016
Question: Im 34 m, married. This is the first time in my life I have made a mistake outside my marriage. I had all my medical check done in my office in KL August end, my HIV and VDRL is negative.

I had unprotected oral sex (BJ) from a CSW in Kuala lumpur 7 days back. She initially took me into a room , washed me up with water and herself separately and gave me a clean towel to dry. I washed my mouth with water and she did the same. I was made to lie on the bed and she did some massage, i just kissed her on cheeks and neck and sucked her nipples slowly for 2 mins (No secretions came out). Apart from this I did not have sexual intercourse with her either vaginal or anal. Then she gave me a blowjob unprotected for 5 mins. I had french kissed her for 5 mins after the blow job. For briefly 30 seconds, I touched her clitoris with my right middle finger (Without cuts) and did not insert my finger in her vagina. Later she gave me a hand job and I ejaculated on my lower belly, later wiped it with a clean cloth. I wore my under vest and came back. I have not cleaned my penis with water after that. Can I get HIV from Oral blow job? I have not seen or smell of any blood in her mouth or vaginal fluid near me as the vagina was far away from my body.



Post this episode I have met following Doctors



1. Doctor in Brickfields (Saturday) provided me Antibiotic injection and 2 tabs (Doxicycline and Flagyl) for 5 days and said dont worry, you are getting anxious , do a test only for your satisfaction. Its very low to get HIV by this way.



2. Another Doctor in Brickfields (Sunday) again told me the same thing, if you want to get tested, do it after 6 weeks to relieve your anxiety. The transmission is low this way.



3. I visited an other STD specialist in Bangsar on Wednesday, he told me that if you had come to me within 72 hours, I had given you an anti viral pill. He examined my penis and took a urethral swab and said it was normal. He suggested me to get HIV tested after 4 weeks. He too said it is very very very low by this way.



4. I had counselling from 2 people including Mr XXXXXXX and said that it was negligible risk.



Please clarify if I may get HIV? I am very much annoyed and not sleeping.



If the CSW is HIV positive and she sucks my cock for 5 minutes, does the HIV transmit? I do not have cuts on my penis (Uncircumcised) . But I have not observed any blood in her mouth?? If it were to be, what could be the chances?



I have french kissed the girl for 2 mins after her blow job? Will this transmit?



I have not cleaned my penis after I wiped off all semen on my belly? Will this transmit?



Please tell me with your experience , any case like me with unprotected BJ leading to HIV?



I can also do the RNA HIV PCR testing if required?



Please tell me if I need HIV testing in this regard???



Thanks.

Brief Answer:
No chances of HIV at all

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.

I frequently get such type of questions from many young men like you. Thank you for providing detail and excellent clear cut history of your problem. No chances of transmission of HIV through the history you provide. No BJ or massage can transmit HIV.
You are simply anxious and testing frequently will increase your anxiety as tests are going to come negative.


The minimal risk of transmission from oral sex with a man is only for the person performing the oral sex. Open cuts and abrasions in the mouth or bleeding gums can create an entry point for HIV and increase the risk of transmission. A person receiving oral sex is generally not at risk because that person is coming into contact only with saliva, which does not transmit HIV. The presence of other sexually transmitted infections can increase the risk of HIV transmission during oral sex.


If your thoughts regarding this issue are affecting your occupational or social life, I recommend short course of anti anxiety medicines like clonazepam or lorazepam with relaxation therapy. You can go for PCR testing after 1 month for HIV to assure your self finally. No more tests after that required.


Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr Chintan Solanki.

Thanks a lot Doctor for the answer

Few more queries

My major concern is if the prostitute is HIV positive and if she licks my dick, can it pass? I dont have any scratches on my penis. I have not seen or smelt blood in her mouth while kissing.

I have french kissed the girl after blowjob? will this transmit?

After I wiped my cum with a cloth, i wore my vest and came back and did not clean my penis the whole night? will this cause problems

My penis Is uncircumcised , does this cause problems

If the girl would have had some.blood. In her mouth, what could.be the transmission.

Was the post exposure prophylaxis necessary here as suggested by one doctor.

Lastly please tell me with your experience, any patients with received blowjob and acquired hiv, I have not done any inter course with her.

These are my worries.

Brief Answer:
No prophylaxis indicated theoretically

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for asking your doubts.

Blow job with intact penile skin cannot transmit HIV even if person giving blow job has hiv.

French kiss cannot transmit HIV as it requires almost more than half litter saliva and in 5 minutes this amount of saliva can't be exchanged.

Not cleaning penis after such sexual acts does not matter.

Even if she has cut in her mouth, your intact penis cannot get hiv.

Theoretically no post exposure prophylaxis is indicated in such cases. Practically to relieve anxiety of the patient, doctor may give such prophylaxis. The doctor who told about this might have missed your anxiety issue and he has unknowingly increased your anxiety by saying you about prophylaxis.

No person who recieves the blow job has chances of getting hiv. Person who provide oral sex may have chances as oral mucosa is soft and easy to damage.

In conclusion, you are safe and you can't get hiv with such acts.

Take care dear.

Thanks Doctor.

One last doubt, if the penis is uncircumcised, my penis when erect has an outer skin and hole ( urethra) in between, otherwise no cuts on the shaft. Does this cause problems.

Brief Answer:
No it does not cause problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Your penis is absolutely normal with intact foreskin which gives rather more protection against infection. It doesn't cause any problem.

If still any query is there, I will be happy to answer. Or you can close the discussion and give your feedback and rating.
