Question
i had use a condom during sex 2 days ago. but i lick her vagina once. I'm a bit worried now because she is a prostitute. what are my risk of contacting HIV ?
Blood, semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk can transmit HIV. If one of these enters your body (through your mouth, eyes, penis, anus, etc) then transmission is possible. Unprotected anal sex carries the most risk, then unprotected vaginal sex, then unprotected oral sex.
