I think this question belongs in the health and well being. Over a year ago I met a guy through a personal ad and we got to talking but things escalated a little faster then I wanted. I had never been with a guy before and when I asked if he was clean as in hiv stds he always stated he was and I had nothing to worry about. So he gave me oral and I gave him I sucked around his shaft a little but got a drop of precum in my mouth. I waited 3 and a half months before I got tested for hiv. But the CDC says you should wait 6 months after but other Dr.s and sites say 3 months is fine. So which is it?
 
i know that usually 3 months is sufficient - maybe they say 6 months just to be super sure .. idk
 
Both, 3 months in usually enough time for the virus to leave it's mark and 6 months will give you a better picture (more accurate)
 
I had been tested probably around 3 1/2 to 4 months after. Should I get retested then?
 
the difference is:

3 months for the antibodies (what the HIV test actually looks for) to be detected in 99.9% of infected persons.

It can however take up to 6 months in "very rare" cases

that's the info my HIV documentation has that I got from my testing center.

If you have a doubt, get tested again, though oral is in general not very risky for HIV (yes, there is still some risk, but it is very very low). Other diseases can be spread easily thru oral, but not HIV (unless you have open cuts in your mouth, then the risk escalates quite a bit).

Anyway, if in doubt... get tested again, if it will give you peace of mind, get tested again. Look in the yellow pages and you can probably find places which will do it for free (either rapid 20 min tests or the full blood work which takes 2 weeks).

And here is the oral sex speil I would give on the NSW HIV/AIDS Information Line...

Oral Sex is a low risk activity...him giving you oral is no risk unless you happened to have an open bleed cut on your dick and he poured copious litres of saliva in to the open bleeding cut.

You getting a 'drop of precum in my mouth' would not be a recommendation for having a HIV test...however to put your mind at rest the yes get tested...if you responded I would have suggested getting tested immediately and to class that test as a baseline test and then get re-tested in three months...that way if the baseline test comes back negative and then second test comes back positive you could definitively know who gave you the infection provided you had played safe during the preceding three months.

But with the scenario you have described the chances would be remote that you would be HIV positive from this encounter.

Regarding the three months vs six months (CDC recommended)...Yes, the CDC does recommend testing at 6 months but this has changed with all the knowledge that is out there and the CDC have not yet changed their guidelines to reflect the three months that is generally known in the scientific/medical community to be the ideal.
 
Oral sex is relatively low risk (see article), as saliva is a natural protector against infection. However, if you had open sores in your mouth, it could be a different situation. I think you are at extremely low risk, but be sure to bring up your history when you get tested, and you will receive professional advice regarding sexual practices and risks.

Also, make sure you have good dental hygiene and be sure to brush and floss daily. If you see any blood when you floss, your hygiene is insufficient, and you might want to see a dentist. Do no have oral sex if your gums bleed.
 
i have also read that you shouldn't use mouth wash (listerine) before having oral sex, since it is abrassive and it can make your gums bleed a little tiny bit or it can also thin the 'skin' of your gums
