Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had an unprotected blowjob done by a healthy female. I discharged semen twice into her mouth. Immediately after discharge, I washed my penis with soap. I know HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) cannot sustain in human saliva, but I need an expert opinion. What is the risk of HIV?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

HIV transmission in a single unprotected oral sex with an infected person is almost nil unless there are bleeding wounds in the oral cavity.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
