HIV anxiety

[mirror345]

Hello, so in October I (female) had protected sex and unprotected oral sex with a partner (male). It was only once, but I have put it in my head that I have HIV. I know the risk with unprotected oral sex is low, but I can't remember if I had a cut or sore in my mouth that would have made me susceptible. How big/fresh would a mouth wound need to be to transmit HIV? For reference, we were both 18 and he was an athlete, so I am thinking it would be unlikely that he had HIV because he was in good health. I haven't had the flu, but I know that sometimes HIV doesn't have any symptoms. Please help!!

This is all that matters. You’re absolutely fine. There is no risk of HIV from oral sex.

Saliva has a neutralizing effect against the HIV virus, and that is why there has never been a documented case of HIV from oral sex. You are fine.
