Question
Hi
I received a bj from a escort in the last 2 weeks. I wore a condom, but this makes me feel a little wierd. I wore protection, but want to know if I did not finish and stopped, is there any risk of me getting HIV? There was no transfer of fluid from either of us.
Thank you for your quick response
Dear Brian:
Peace. The risk you describe is very, very, small. Your failure to ejaculate is not protective, but the HIV risk in receiving oral sex as you describe is low to begin with, use of a condom decreases your risk further. Could go into more detail, and you can if you want to at www.thebody.com or www.avert.org, but you said quick - and that's what I am giving you.
Best to you,
Terry
