Q: HIV and AIDS from oral ?
asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 23rd, 2009
I recently hooked up with a man at a gay bar. We went back to the hotel and had oral sex 3 times. Although I know oral sex is a low risk activity for hiv/aids, i am concerned because he precame in my mouth a lot each time (although did not actually cum in my mouth). The third time we had oral sex, he had an abrasion on his penis that I noticed, and although it wasn't dripping in blood, it was definitely a cut. That night we hooked up I also had a canker sore on my tongue. Is it possible that I became infected with hiv through his blood or precum that could enter my blood stream from my canker sore. I am very concerned, and although I asked him if he was hiv positive and he replied no, I am still very preoccupied.

Given the data you provided, HIV infection can not be ruled out for sure. Truly, oral sex is lower sex activity than vaginal or anal intercourse. However, you were at risk of HIV infection especially because of the sore.
You might want to have yourself tested for possible HIV infection.
