Not a Health Question?

Question

Hi. I received oral sex from a man last week. He (accidently?) bit me on my foreskin but it drew blood, we then stopped. I got home and checked and washed the area and the bleeding had stopped. No semen was involved but am worried I may have contracted HIV.

He was a new partner and I do not know him. No flu like symptoms, just worried.

Accepted Answer

Hello,
HIV can be transmitted by unprotected oral, vaginal or anal sex. As you were exposed to unprotected sex, I strongly recommend you to get it tested. You can have HIV testing like ELISA and western blot, these are very accurate and sensitive in detecting HIV infection. There is no way to know whether or not you have infection as most of the people with HIV do not have any symptoms, but some people do get flu like symptoms in 2-4 weeks after exposure. The best way is to get it tested after 4-6 weeks to avoid false negative result.
