Gave A unprotected Blowjob to a trans sex worker, what is my risk??

HI,
About 12 days ago I had an encounter with a trans sex worker. I gave her a unprotected blowjob for close to 45 minutes and then she returned the favor (also unprotected). She smoked meth for almost the entire session and I used poppers the entire time (no meth for me). The sex worker did not ejaculate into my mouth though there was a bit of precum. I did ejaculate into her mouth. Regardless of using meth she had very good dental hygiene and so did I. My question is what is the likelihood of me contracting HIV from this situation?

thank you,

  1. , I am glad you reached out with these questions. We are not medical professionals and cannot directly advise you on the likelihood of transmission, but I can give you some information that may be useful.


    HIV can be transmitted through some bodily fluids that come into direct contact with a mucus membrane as explained in this article: https://h-i-v.net/transmission. It can be transmitted through precum (sometimes called pre-seminal fluid if you are doing research) but cannot be transmitted through saliva.


    If you are concerned, testing can certainly give you a more concrete answer. Tests typically have a window period of more than 12 days since possible exposure. You can find more info on that and other types of tests here: https://h-i-v.net/test-types.


    Please keep us posted on how you are doing, and I hope this information can help you.
