What Is The Risk Of Performing Oral Sex Within An Hour After My Gums Were Bleeding?

default
Posted on Fri, 18 Nov 2022
Question:
A few weeks ago I engaged in sexual activity with a female sex worker.
It was only oral sex both ways but I had just come from the dentist after a teeth clean. My gums did bleed a bit but are healthy. The bleeding was purely from the clean instruments used.
I performed oral sex on her but only around the clitoris region on the outside. Just before I did this she wiped herself with some sort of wet wipe. I also only used the tip of my tongue as opposed to my whole mouth. 
Can I check please in regards to HIV contraction: 
1) What is the risk of performing oral sex about 20-30 minutes after my gums were bleeding
2) the fact I only performed oral sex on the outside of the vagina which was very dry and no vaginal fluid present.
Thank you

Brief Answer:
There is no risk for HIV.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I think you shouldn't worry about HIV because having just oral sex (without contact with vaginal fluids) even after 20-30 min after your gums bleeding, there is definitely no risk for HIV.

I hope my answer helps you. Feel free to ask me further.
