Thanks for taking my question. I recently entered a relationship with another women, of which her status is unknown to me. To make a long story short, we were messing around one night and she decides it would be kinky to partially insert a tootsie roll into her vagina (for maybe a few seconds) and then proceeded to insert it into my mouth (of which I took out shortly there after and did not chew on or swallow. also, no blood was present anywhere and I proceeded to rinse my mouth within minutes). I'm sorry if this question is a little off the wall. Anyhow, I guess my question pertains to the minimal amount of exposure required to transmit and the ability for this disease to survive under the described circumstances. Although I find valuable information on oral sex and whatnot throughout this site, there is little data on more personal experiences of this nature. Also, have you ever heard of transmission occuring in a scenario such as this? Thanks for the advice, your message board is extremely helpful.

That is kinky! But by no means is your situation off the wall.

The scenario may seem different than ones presented, but if you break it down into its basic parts and apply it to the model for infection, you could probably come to your own conclusion about your risk.

To start with, leave the tootsie roll out of the picture. It's not important information when it comes to your risk. You got some vaginal fluid in your mouth, but probably a very small amount. How does that differ from performing oral sex on a woman? If anything, your situation sounds less risky than oral sex, which carries very little risk (when performed on a woman). There is no solid evidence that HIV has been transmitted to a person performing oral sex on an HIV positive woman when there was no blood present.
