HIV Infection Through Oral Sex

Hey all,
I'm looking to get some information on HIV transmission through oral sex (I performed oral sex). Over the last few months I've had unprotected oral sex with several partners. From what they have told me they are HIV-, but I'm concerned that they may not know. On these occasions they did not ejaculate into my mouth. I don't have any symptoms of ARS other than cold sores on mouth (however I do get cold sores from time to time).
I'm looking for some input from anyone who can guide me on my risk for these encounters. Just really shaken.
Thanks for listening.

Hi,it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex, though it is a less common mode of transmission than other sexual behaviors (anal and vaginal sex)
There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV.
If the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body.
Next time If you choose to perform oral sex with either a partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming),
•use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam, or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier.
So it would be better if you could go for a test.
Wish you the best.

In general, oral sex is a low risk activity for HIV transmission but the risk is not zero. The risk increases if ejaculation takes place, and if you have poor oral hygiene.
My advice would be to test at least 3 months from your last exposure. Also, please notice there are other STIs easier to transmit through oral:

Let me stress again that this is a very low risk for HIV, but testing is always a good idea.
Best wishes.
