Hi
Thank you for the query. Welcome to health care magic.
I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
I have gone through the details.
The chances of transmission of STDs/HIV by protected intercourse is almost nil.You can allay fears of STDs/HIV.
The chances of transmission of HIV by oral sex is nil unless there is bleeding/open wound in both, in the area of contact .It is unlikely. You can allay fears of HIV.
There are some STDs like herpes simplex virus which can be transmitted by unprotected oral sex. It is not a serious disease but is known for recurrence. The chances of transmission is higher if there were active lesions at the time of contact. It would have come to your notice if there were lesions.
The symptoms may be due to irritation/friction.
It is better to go for STDs panel tests now as a routine.
You can go for HIV1&2 RNA PCR at this stage to allay fears of HIV.
You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you
