POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE
Hi XXX.
Thank you for your email.
Let me answer your concerns in the opposite order that you asked
them.
First, oral sex is very low risk in transmitting HIV. Unless of
course you one have mouth sores or open wounds inside the mouth will doing it
and infected precum or semen gets in contact with your wound. Mutual masturbation
is pretty impossible in transmitting the virus.
Second, since your unprotected anal sex was last year and your
HIV test was 14 months after it, the negative result is already final. The test
was also done 2 months after the oral sex (which is very minimal risk) however,
you never mentioned if you had mouth or gum problems during the act. If
doubtful, best is to retake it 4 months (which is next month) after the last
test to be sure. It is a win-win scenario, trust me. It will definitely calm
down your nerves.
I hope I was able to answer your
concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other concerns.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
