thank you for query.chance of transmission of HIV by oral route is very very rare. but for relieving anxiety PCR (RNA-PCR)can be positive as early as post 3 days exposure .It is highly specific test (99%) for HIV.you can take it after 10 days of exposure for accurate results.You can consult doctor for post exposure prophylaxis with antiretroviral drugs .it should be preferably be taken within 3 days of exposure.You can get back to me for any clarifications .Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
