Q. Can oral sex cause AIDS?
Hello doctor,
I wanted to know if I need to get tested for HIV. About four months ago, I had what I thought was oral sex with a girl. I did not give her cunnilingus for long, but I cannot remember entirely. About a week after this happened, I got tested for STDs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and some other stuff that came back undetected. I cannot remember how long it was. Still, I started having what I think are HIV symptoms like fatigue, unexplained diarrhea, and an unexplained rash on both of my arms. Still, my arms were burning a little when I would touch them, and it only came up to my shirt line, so I assumed it was a heat rash from sunburn because I was on track practice that day. I do not know what to expect or do because I am afraid if I do not get tested, I will have AIDS later. I have learned that the oral sex risk of HIV is small, but I want to be sure.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The chances of transmitting HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) by single unprotected oral sex is almost nil unless there are bleeding wounds in the area of contact. You can go for an HIV antibodies test to relieve anxiety and get conclusive results. Symptoms are non-specific. The lesion may be due to allergies, insect bites, or herpes. Consult your doctor for examination and management.
Thank you.
