Can HIV Be Contracted Through Oral Sex?

not likely
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your question.
It is always best to use condoms when having sex with an HIV positive person even if they are on medications with undetectable viral load.
However, it is very unlikely that you would contract HIV from this type of encounter.
Having a non-detectable viral load does not mean there is no virus present, it means that there is either none present OR that it is in very low concentration.
Even if there were small amounts of virus present in the pre-ejaculate, as long as there were no open wounds in your mouth, the risk is extremely low.
It would be good for you to get a 4th generation HIV test now and again in 3 months just to make sure that you are negative.
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
