Hi again,
You are right, none of these activities puts you at risk for HIV. You might get another STI this way, though, if she had another STI when you had oral sex. You can get syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea or herpes from receiving oral sex without a condom. Different STIs can take different amounts of time before being detected on tests or showing symptoms, and some never have any noticeable symptoms. You can look at the "STIs at a glance" chart to find out about the best time to test. We usually suggest that 2 or 3 months after unprotected sex is a good time to get tested for most STIs. If you do get any symptoms like burning when you pee or sores or rashes on your penis, go into a clinic right away.
Let us know if that helps answer your questions,
Health Nurse

Two weeks after unprotected sex is a little bit early to check for for HIV. Many STIs can be checked at two weeks, but the best time to check for STIs and HIV is 2-3 MONTHS after unprotected sex.
From what you've told me, it does not seem like there is any risk of getting HIV even if she had a cut or a wound.

We find that HIV can pass to the person who is performing the oral sex but we do not see it passing to the person receiving the oral sex.

It sounds like you are really worried about HIV passing to you. Given this it might be worthwhile going for a HIV test at 3 months just for peace of mind.

Hi. Please I cannot understand what you mean Iam not good in English explan below ?
We find that HIV can pass to the person who is performing the oral sex but we do not see it passing to the person receiving the oral sex.

Sorry, it is a bit hard to explain. Basically, HIV is not commonly passed during oral sex. It has happened in rare cases. In these cases, HIV was passed from a man with HIV to the person who was sucking his penis. We do not know of any cases of a man getting HIV from getting his penis sucked by a person with HIV.
Maybe it helps to explain it this way: In straight sex, we know of women getting HIV from sucking a man's penis, in rare situations (usually if the woman has an open wound in her mouth at the time). We DO NOT know of men getting HIV from women during oral sex.
Does that make it clearer?
