What Are The Chances Of HIV After Oral Intercourse?
Question: Hello I recently met online with a random man, we did not have anal penetration at all but what we did dovwas oral, I preformed oral on him and he did so to me. I also rubbed his anus with my spit a bit and later rubbed my penis against his anus without protection. I also had a hemorrhoid and he fingerd me slightly with spit on his finger, do I have a risk of contracting HIV? Im very afraid I never had done anything sexualy before. By the way I am also male. I also asked if he was clean and he said yes but I'm still worried and I regret everything.
Brief Answer:
the risk is very low but not zero.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and I can understand your concern.
Oral intercourse carries a very small risk of contracting HIV infection compared to unprotected anal and vaginal intercourse.
So the risk of contracting HIV from oral intercourse is very low but it isn't zero.There is a small risk of getting infected.
This depends on the viral load of the infected person and in the oral condition (oral lesions,bleeding etc) of the other partner.
Considering the fact that you gave and receive oral sex ,you don't know the HIV status of this person ,I would suggest to get tested for HIV 3 months after the exposure (so the result will be conclusive ) just to be on the safe side.
There are also other sexually transmitted infection that you can contract through oral sex ,although you may not have any symptoms now.So I would suggest to get tested for all STD infection.
In future you have to be more prudent when it comes to engage in unprotected sexual intercourse with people you don't know well.
Hope it helps.
Let me know for any question that you might have.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati

Thank you. He did not put his mouth around the head of my penis but I did around his. He didn't not have any cuts or semen or pre cum coming out of his penis at the time I did oral also. I am experiencing an itchy cough from the experience though.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.
In your case the risk is even lower ,and it is very unlikely to have contracted HIV this way.The itchy cough might have nothing to do with it but as I said there are other sexually transmitted infections that can cause an irritation and inflammation of the throat.
Although the risk to have contracted HIV in your case is very very low ,getting tested for HIV will put your mind at ease and confirm that .
Take care.

I realized the other part of my question was not answerd. How much of a risk am I with him rimming me and me rubbing my bare or penis against his anus?
Brief Answer:
detailed below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
I apologize for the delay.
Since there was no penetrative anal sex, only rimming and rubbing ,the risk is very low to zero.Giving or receiving unprotected oral sex contains a risk a little bit higher that just rubbing and rimming,although this risk is very low comparing to unprotected vaginal and anal intercourse.
So your overall risk of having contracted HIV from this episode is very low but not zero.For this reason I suggested to get tested for HIV and do screening tests for all other STD.
The risk of having contracted other sexually transmitted infection through oral sex is greater than in HIV so you need to get tested ,despite the fact of having or no symptoms.
Hope it answers your query.
