Question
Please can you give me advice. I had unprotected oral sex with another lady two months ago. There was no pre-cum and I was more on the receiving end. Please tell me if this is a risky factor and wether you think I must get tested?
Thank you Kelly
Receiving oral sex does not put you at risk because saliva does not transmit HIV. Performing unprotected oral sex can put you at risk for HIV because of exposure to either semen or vaginal fluid. Oral sex carries less of a risk than unprotected vaginal and anal sex.

| Comment | Thank you for all your help. Do you think this warrants me to go and get an HIV test? I only went down on her a couple of seconds and there was no pre-cum involved. Please advise? | ||
