oral sex (receiving)
      #12401 - 11/16/00 08:57 PM

Ok, i recieved oral sex and really have no reason to believe she has hiv but from a past experience am very scared of hiv and now worry about it 24/7. im getting my test results next week but im not sure how risky oral sex is. Ive heard that i could get hiv if she had bleeding gums which i dont think she did but how about saliva? help im going crazy.

If she had bleeding gums then the risk is greater for her than for you. HIV from the semen can enter the blood stream that way. If she didn't have bleeding gums, the risk is still higher for her.

This is practically a no risk situation. Saliva does contain the virus, but has not found to be an effective agent in transmitting it.

Blood from bleeding gums would not be in a sufficient quantity in my opinion. The bleeding gum person woudl be more at risk from getting hiv from you (if you were infected, which of course you arent) than you would be from getting it in the manner you describe.

Rest easy. You will be negative. I would take the check to the bank.
