Question : I had sex with a transexual, pre-op (male to female).

Afterwards I realised I had a small cut on my penis (there was a very small amount of blood present). Caused by shaving beforehand. This has really concerned me.

We had unprotected oral sex (giving and receiving). Protected anal sex (me giving). Our penises were also pressed together at times (without protection) with a small chance of exposure to precum.

We didn’t ejaculate inside each other, no ejaculate entered either of our mouths, and her ejaculate didn’t go anywhere near my penis.

I’m definitely 100% STI free (before this). I haven’t had sex for a while and not since I was last tested.

Do you think I have reason to be worried and is it worth getting a HIV test?

Brief Answer:
All depends on your partners status!

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

With a cut, there is genuine reason to be concerned. How concerned depends on the health status of your partner. If you have no idea, it is cautious to get tested and evaluated. However, the risk remains minimal.

I wish you well and feel free to follow up with me if need be.
