Performed Oral Sex While Recovering From Cold. Penis Was Rubbed By Injured Thumb. Any Chances Of Contracting HIV?
I need help.
I am quite scared I might have contracted HIV, I am 17, Canadian.
A few weeks back, I performed oral sex on my female friend, l was recovering from a brutal cold and still had a mildly sore throat, my friend had also just ended her period, so l recall there not being any blood. I do remember her vagina did not smell good and wasn't clean, which is why l stopped performing oral sex on her.
Before that, she rubbed my penis with her thumb, which had a bandaid, and l'm worried my penis accidentally touched the wound.
I am more sure than not that I do NOT have HIV, but my friend started sexual activity before I did and has been with other highly active people, which is what worries me the most. I have also been researching and apparently my risks are negligible, but I am just not 100% sure if l should be worried. I would get tested but it is not a possibility at the moment.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The possibility of HIV is less.
Even then to be safe get HIV test done.
P24 is the best test at this early stage.
It can detect even a single virus in blood.
Please get this test done.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
