A member asked:

I had oral with a man. he has hiv but said it has been undetectable in his blood for 20 years. i only gave him oral for 30 sec. and i didn't swallow

Are you: asking your risk of getting HIV from the oral sex. Oral sex dose carry some risk of transmission though low. An undetectable viral load and ART medications significantly reduce risk of transmission. Personal opinion why take the chance. Use protection or consider daily Truvada (emtricitabine and tenofovir)
