Good job Dr Young!
Nov 24, 2001
Hi Dr Young,
First of all I would like to thank you for providing many good information regarding Hiv and AIDS. I can see many people now are more aware of the infection now so do I. I have been browsing this forum every day as to get relieve answer by reading all the answers but still I can't figure out the answer so I really hope I can get advice this time from such a calliber doctor like you. Last week I had received an oral sex from a stranger during my trip to London. I ejaculate inside his mouth and I saw a blood staint from his saliva. I had checked my penis that time and I could'nt see any open sore or open lession or abrassion. Is it likely the virus can be transmitted like this way providing I'm nagative and his positive? I've done my blood test after the incident and it's negative. I can say I never have any anal or vaginal intercourse for the last 2 years. Is good enough like normal person to me ( I'm 25 years old male have no illness and quite active guy) to do again blood test again after the 25 days of exposure or still I have to wait for another three months before I can get an accurate result? Please give me a piece of advice so that I can continue back my as normal like last time. Thanks Dr Yound, I really appreciate it!

Response from Dr. Young

Thank you for your comments.
While this is not typically a forum to answer questions about the risk of HIV exposure, I'll take this opportunity to respond to you question.
Oral insertive intercourse is generally thought to be very low risk (though probably not zero). I typically recommend that persons who have had an exposure (who are otherwise asymptomatic) get antibody testing at 1, 3 and 6 months after exposure. In high risk circumstances, or in persons with symptoms suspicious of acute retroviral syndrome, these parameters still hold, though I often include an HIV viral load to make sure that I am not observing the acute syndrome.
Hope that this helps, good luck. BY
