Hi dear,
Welcome to HCM.I have analysed your query.My opinion is that you will not get HIV by this mode.
HIV will be transmitted mainly by doing blood transfusion, unprotected sexual intercourse etc.,HIV virus is present in minimal amount in saliva.So,you will not get HIV by this mode.

Thanks a lot doctor....
Am very much relieved by your words...
Looking at the internet with conflicting information everywhere, I got really freaked out.
The episode was that: in a massage parlour, after the massage the masseuse offered oral job after which I ejaculated. And no intercourse indeed.
My local doctor started me on PEP. Please advice if it is really warranted here.

And I would be getting tested after 4 weeks anyhow.

Please add, if your words still hold good here.

Thanks
