Question:
I had oral sex with a (girl) stranger a few days ago, I am worried that I might have been infected with STDs or HIV, what are the possible STDs or HIV that will infect me? I understand that penis is mucous membrane and can be transmitted through oral sex, but the risk is only in existence if she had visible blood in her saliva (dental works)during oral sex, or else it is quite unlikely to be infected, isn't?
Another concern: If I had heavy petting with a HIV infected girl (both naked and without condomn), will her virginia fluid infects me even though there is no pentration or ejaculation?

Answer:
by Yvonne Fulbright: ()
When it comes to oral sex, the sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to be wary of include gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphillis, herpes, and HPV, as well as HIV. With regard to HIV and fellatio (oral sex on a man), the chances of transmission work via open sores or cuts in the mouth or on the penis. The person performing fellatio is at risk if HIV-infected semen comes in contact with any sores or cuts in the mouth or on the gums (due to something as basic as brushing or flossing your teeth shortly before a sexual encounter). As the person receiving fellatio, you are at less risk for contracting HIV, though it could happen if any blood in your partner's mouth comes in contact with any cuts or sores on your penis.
The transmission of HIV during heavy petting is very low risk. If a woman was infected with HIV, the virus could only be transmitted if her vaginal fluids came in contact with an open cut or sore on your body, e.g., on your finger.
The best way to protect yourself from STIs or HIV is to use a condom during oral, anal, and vaginal sex, and to use latex gloves during heavy petting.
