Detailed Answer:
Dear Stayflyordie,
Welcome to HCM.
The risk of getting HIV or other STDs from oral sex is very less because human saliva is not the fluid which transmits HIV and it also contains an enzyme which inhibits the growth of HIV virus so don,t get worried or feared but you have to get tested to know your status.
As your friend I will also advice you to stay away from such unsafe sexual practices because having multiple sexual partners is high risk for HIV or other STDs. If still any query is there feel free to ask me again and I am here to help you out always.
Thank You

so is there need to be concerned that I have contracted an STI OR HIV? OR AM I OK? I HAVE ONLY ENGAGED IN ORAL SEX I HAVE NEVER HAD INTERCOURSE
Brief Answer:
Yes the risk is very unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Stayflyordie,
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
the risk of contracting HIV or other STD from oral sex without any penetrative sex is very less likely so you need not to worry much. You can go for 4th generation HIV Duos test after 15 days of exposure to get the status. Just calm down, forget the episode and live your life normally. For any further query feel free to ask me again.
