Hello, 

Two weeks ago I had an encounter with an 18 year old female (in California) me also 18 and I performed unprotected oral sex on her I had a small cut on my lip. I understand that neither of us are in the majority demographic of this disease but I’m skeptical as to whether she has it or not but was just wondering whether I should get tested as I don’t know if I have symptoms,   or I am that paranoid I’m creating them in my head.

    Personally I think you’re fine. The risk of HIV through oral is minimal or low risk. Unless your cut was actively bleeding  i really don’t see reason to be alarmed. Though oral sex does leave you open to other STDs.
