Oral sex is usually a very low risk.<\/p>\n<p>However, UK guidelines recommend that a test at 90 days after exposure is needed as 5% of people take up to three months to develop antibodies to HIV.<\/p>\n<p>It is also thought that for oral sex to be a risk there would need to be both oral hygiene problems (such as open sores, bleeding gums etc) and your partner would probably need to have a very high viral load (higher than 100,000 copies\/mL).<\/p>\n<p>For more information on HIV transmission please follow this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.avert.org\/can-you-get-hiv-aids.htm\">link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi I had oral sex and he did not use a condom once I had a fever 2 weeks after.
