Brief Answer:
Absolutely no chance of HIV by oral sex in your case.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.


There is no chance of acquiring STD including HIV infection if you both are virgin. Why are you worried? HIV or STD occurs only if you had intercourse with an HIV positive person. If you believe your fiancee is virgin and know about your virginity then there is no need to worry as you cannot get HIV. Unless you had received blood transfusion or had needle prick injury from HIV positive person in past. I would not suggest any tests. If you have any doubts in mind then for your mental satisfaction you can get tested by HIV PCR test after 5-6 weeks or 4 th generation ELISA test after12 weeks.

Hope I answered your query

Thank you for the reply. It did ease my nerves.I have been googling it a lot for whole month and there it is written a lot unprotected oral form of sex and risks associated with it.And it made so scared and unstable since then.A month after the last encounter my fiancee went for HIV, VDRL,HCV and other STDs test and all the reports came Non-reactive.And yes I'm sure about her and my virginity. We never had penetrative sex till now.Its oral sex which has been bothering me and I found it hard to move on in life.

Brief Answer:
:):) Dont worry.

Detailed Answer:
Wellcome.


You must relax and live life happily. You have absolutely no risk. Do not Google too much. What you see on Google is generalized. There is vast differences between knowledge and practicality. Ask a specialist before thinking about any health conditions in future as well. This type of internet knowledge causes poor quality and stress in life.

Stay blessed.
