HELLO Doctor, I met a lady yesterday whose status is not known, although we had sex with condoms, i licked her vagina, i didnt see any blood or bad smell, but I m worried that if she is hiv+ , could it have been transferred to me as a result of licking?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Oral sex carries a low risk when compared to vaginal and anal sex. That too oral sex with a female has very much less risk. If that girl has excessive secretion or if you had any oral infection, ulcers the risk may slightly increased. Anyhow it is better for you to have HIV test before having sex with your wife or girl friend and rule out HIV totally.
