Can HIV Be Transmitted By Oral Sex?
Hello. I d like to know my risk factor of contracting HIV from an undetectable person through oral. He didn t ejaculate and it was only in my mouth for a minute and there was Precum (I noticed the Precum and when I saw it and didn t put it in my mouth, I heard the virus dies once airborne? I then put it in my mouth wasn t sure if any Precum came out afterwards). I usually have bleeding gums if I suck too hard or brush my teeth too hard but when giving oral I usually tell because I will see the blood or taste it, on the day I didn t notice anything at all. What s my risk?

Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
No HIV transmission is not possible through oral sex & other non penetrating sexual activities. Only unprotected vaginal sex or anal sex could cause HIV transmission. HIV transmission is only possible theoritically through oral sex if you have a large ulcer in mouth & through that virus went into your blood stream.
Therefore you should not worry about transmission of HIV in you through oral sex, even if you had swollen gums. However it is always better to avoid this with a stranger in future as other infections like HSV, HPV or syphilis could spread through oral sex.
Don't worry you would be fine
Hope this information helps
