default
Posted on Mon, 6 Apr 2015
Question: i did a blow job on man 3 month ago with out swallowing male fluids in my mouth, i did the blow job for less than 5 or 5 min or more may be does not go to full 10 min, after wards he master bated and he cummed, the male fluid did not contain any blood on it. and i don't know if the amount of time that i spend on doing the blow job would let him precum in my mouth. and i don't know if i have any cuts in my mouth because usually i bite my mouth and my inner mouth (cheeks) my concerns here is HIV, i know saliva kills HIV, im worried because i was down with cold and sore throat with out fever or any swollen lymph gland and today i had my doctor checked behind my ears and neck for any swallowing lymph gland, am i infected with HIV? do i need to get tested? or im just worrying my self in here for no reason. i read that there is possibility but is low to get infected with hiv.
A few days ago my left lower arm and hand starts to have a mild pain that is just a bother, and today it feels like some one been setting on it with little bit tingling and numbing sensation. For your information I just moved back for good from the states to my country, and the states has a very harsh cold weather, which led to not use the AC for 4 months. During my last day in USA I wend ice skating and feel on both knees and hands , and I've been carrying a heavy travel bags to know the right weight for the air port. Plus, I've been pushing a carry on and a purse that it's a heavy one. Then, I went to my country which has a right now a good and sometimes a hot weather. And it's been 10 days since my travel, and I've been using the AC ever since. My lower left arm never bothered me till two or three days ago and I've been jet-lagged ever since. Today I read about how this is related to HIV, and I started to worry .Is this really related to any HIV or Std's infection? Even though I have a negative herpes test what are my chances of getting STd from my ORal sex with out swalloing any
Male fluids. Do you recommend getting tested for hiv? I'm really worried about my hand is it an impact for all the previous thing I told you in USA and accumulated to have a bothering sensation? Do recommend seeing a doctor?
And is it true that oral sex is not a mode for infection? And they do not tested hiv from it? Because a doctor told that in here and other 4 doctor told it's almost nill and no chance of hiv at all
I'm telling the whole story just to relax my mind since I come from a very strict country
I need some one with HIV and sTd specialest

Brief Answer:
Does not appear to be any HIV infection; best to do test to clear mind.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there XXXXXXX,
I have lived & worked in an Arab country so understand your feelings.
To be perfectly honest with you, Yes one can acquire an STD through the 'oral' route as well. But, for this to happen, there has to be a break in mucous membrane & contact with blood or blood products et semen at that time.
If you had any mouth ulcers' etc at that time, you need to worry. If not, don't sweat on it & please go to sleep.
If indeed you wish to be objective, no point in doing an ELISA test for HIV...do a PCR test for m-RNA...this will give you an accurate picture of any recent infection.
from your description, it appears all stress induced & not any HIV infection.
Good Luck & Godspeed!
