Hi,

I'm 18 and I've recently had my first sexual experience with a guy. We mainly 69'd and tried anal sex (with a condom), but I let him cum in my mouth, which I swallowed, as I came in his.

I know the rate of transmission of HIV isn't as high as apposed to unprotected anal sex, but the risk remains none the less. I have no reason to assume he is HIV+, but that's no reason to rule it out either.

My main query is how long the virus could live in my mouth -I did drink a lot after in hopes it'd help something and then used mouthwash a while after (I know they only kill bacteria and not viruses, but it was something I thought at least!)

Anyway, I feel stupid for having done this, with a hook up more or less, when I do know better, and should've utilised that knowledge for my own good!

Any advice for a young lad who is overthinking and stressing over this a bit? :)
 
relax. I don't think there is any reported case where giving head and swallowing cum was a direct result in getting HIV, unless you have a cut in your mouth or an open sore you should be fine. Also, if you know your going to suck dick, its best not brush your teeth right beforehand, because the bristles on your brush can cause tiny cuts in your mouth that you're not aware of and can enter that way.
At least from what ive been told..
I know what you mean about stressing, try to chill. youll be ok.(*8*)
 
"Worry" is one of the risks of risky sex. It is important to learn about safer sex, and be careful to stick to them. This will be a learning experience for you. Everything you read says that oral sex involves low risk, as jensu846 says. If it were not low risk, I believe the incidence of infection would be much higher. The mouth wash was is not a bad idea, but you are right to think it is not something to rely on. I recently read that wine, especially red wine is hostile to the HIV virus, as is the acid in vinegar and orange juice. But these are all unreliable.
While oral is lower risk, it is important to remember that accidents happen, so "safe" sex is only safer, not absolutely safe. Condoms break, semen splashes (in the eye, for instance). Semen can be transferred from one dick to another. I think it is important to avoid sex with anyone you know or suspect may be infected, because even with safer sex, accidents happen. Then, even if you are convinced that the person is healthy, always use safer sex. Avoid anyone who "barebacks" for instance, because they are likely to be infected.
 
Your risk in this scenario- for HIV- is low. However, the more common STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea are easily transmitted via oral sex.

Now that you're a sexually active adult, who apparently joined JUB before his 18th birthday, part of your responsibility is to get tested for STDs. That will put your mind at ease and it will also end the chain of infection for any STD that you might pick up along your way.

you can type in your zip code and find free hiv testing clinics near you, if there are any

otherwise, there's always the health dept which will only charge you based on your income or little to nothing if you have none

Most likely nothing to worry about but you may not be able to get it out of your mind until you're tested

Hey...the anxiety after the event is a normal reaction. In the moment, cuz we're guys, we get caught up. The chances of HIV from oral and swallowing are very low. Your feelings are real. Agree with others that getting tested frequently is important. I get tested every 3 months. Also, getting screened for all STDs is a good idea, probably every six months. If you live where you have access to a gay men's health clinic or can access a gay or gay friendly doctor experienced in gay men's health...do it. Most county health departments will offer all testing. The HIV you can get a lot of places with the oral paddle/20 min results.
 
You used a condom for intercourse which is most critical in HIV prevention. ..| Your post sex anxiety is completely normal. I was like you and still am sometimes. Calm down, relax because as others have stated, HIV through semen in the mouth/swallowing is a very low risk situation. In the future you should be aware of other common STDs that transmit orally much easier than HIV. If you want advice about safe sex, read up on the sticky topics ^ have STD and HIV check ups once a year at least if you will have casual partners.
