    Hi Nkosi, no you do not need to start PEP. This is considered very low risk. There has been no reported transmissions of HIV via oral sex.

    Saliva contains antiviral properties, meaning HIV will be killed in saliva before transmission. Do you know the status of your friend? If you do not it is already more likely that they are HIV negative reducing the risk of transmission further. Wanking each other off and ejaculating in each others hand is not a risk for HIV.

    Hi I had oral sex with a friend. We are both two guys. I sucked his dick and I think I swallowed his precum.

    We then wanked eachother until we ejaculated. I ejaculated in his hand and he in mine.

    Should I start pep? Am I at risk of contracting hiv if he is positive
