Answer
Dear Fahhad:

Peace.  The fluids that transmit HIV are primarily blood, semen, and vaginal secretions.  There are few documented cases of transmission through oral contact alone.  These factors work in your favor regarding HIV transmission.  If your sexual partner is in fact infected, you can reduce the number of times you're exposed, the amount of the fluids to which you are exposed, and provide a barrier of latex to decrease the chances of your becoming infected.  

Specifically, the open-mouthed kissing would not (in the absence of her blood in her mouth) place you at significant risk; the performing oral sex on her - exposing your mouth to her vaginal secretions - might place you at some risk of HIV infection if she is infected; your ejaculating on her legs placed you at no significant risk of HIV infection.

Please go to www.avert.org and/or www.thebody.com and research how to reduce your risk.  Understand also that other infections can be transmitted more easily than HIV, and reducing your risk from these infections is also important.  Again, more specific information available at the sites I mentioned.

For the sake of your safety and that of your sexual partners, I'd suggest you refrain from fluid exchange for at least six weeks, and talk to your health provider about a full examination and sexually transmitted infection test at the end of that time.  This way you will have knowledge of your status and how to continue to protect yourself and others, as well as attend to any health concerns that might arise.  

Best to you and yours,

Terry
