recently had a brief unprotected oral from a sex worker who gave me licks (2-3) at the head which i stopped immediately.

its been 19 days since the incident and without symptoms, which i give thanks everyday

      the chances of catching anything are low specially if u have no symptoms after 19 days the only risk would be herpes but again if sores are not present when givin oral sex the chances would be low i would wait until u develop symptoms before testing if everyone went to a clinic everytime someone licked there dick they would be over run with people

      hey Kim, thanks so much for your feedback.

      i only received briefly and did not give. is there anything i should be looking out for from now?

      the worker did not appear to have any sores in her mouth / discomfort.

      hi Kim,

      is there a timeframe for this?

      but generally like what you said, is not a definite to catch something and the risk is low for the brief exposure.

      the risk is quite low some people do get sores within a few weeks of exposure it can also lay dormant so might not ever get an outbreak

      hey Kim,

      thanks for clarifying.

      i will test for the whole lot (common stds) after 2 more weeks for peace of mind.

      but is definitely great to hear is a low risk from the brief exposure.
