Hello, I'm from Poland and I have a problem.Last week I had oral sex with a man - I don't know if he is infected with hiv. There was no ejaculation of sperm in my mouth. I did not have wounds in my mouth ( I brushed my teeth about 5 hours before, in the meantime I drank alcohol and ate). While making blow , I specifically spit out some saliva, then rinsed my mouth with clean water. I did not see wounds or lesions on my partner's genitals. I find information on Polish sites that the risk is high, which makes me start to fear infection. Please help !

What you read on Polish sites is not true.
Many people overestimate the risk for transmitting HIV by oral sex. The truth is: When giving oral sex you have a very low risk of HIV. The risk is even lower when there was no sperm in your mouth. Worldwide there is very few cases of HIV transmission from oral sex. By the way: For pre-ejaculate, there is basically no HIV risk during oral sex.
But there can be a risk of getting other sexually transmitted infections. If you do not use a condom when giving a blowjob, you can get infected with gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, HPV and herpes (HSV). Chlamydia can also be transmitted during oral sex in principle, but this happens less often than during intercourse or anal sex.
For these infections the risk is the same whether you swallow the sperm or spit it out. The decisive factor is that it comes into contact with your mucous membranes in the mouth.
It is wise to get tested for STI once or twice a year if you have multiple sexual partners. If you can, it could be a good idea to get in touch with that man to ask when he last got tested for STI.
