Does Non-penetrative Sex Transmit HIV?
Question: Hi, Doctor from Healthcare Magic
I had a sexual encounter with a local escort today, and I received only protected oral sex , but my penis did touch her skin, and I don't know, but some saliva might have gotten on my penis when I take the condom off. I read online that receptive oral sex puts me at almost no risk for hiv, but I'm very worried about getting Hepatitis or maybe other stds like syphilis etd, am I at risk? Should I get tested?

2. Hepatitis and STD risk is there but if you used condoms then the risk is less.
3. It is usually recommended to get tested for STD if you develop any symptoms like rashes and discharge from the penis. Most STD tests are accurate when done 30 days after the sexual event. Hepatitis B and C should be tested after 6 months to make sure you do not have it.
