[Question #13542] Wisdom Tooth + Oral sex + Prep

Hi Doctor,
I’ve been on prep for a few months now and have been finding it has really helped me feel safer. I am a male and mostly engage in unprotected oral with other men.
I know the risk is very low even without prep. But I have a specific concern. I had my lower impacted wisdom tooth removed 3 weeks ago. I had planned on avoiding all sexual contact for a month afterwards until the socket healed.
However, this week (3 weeks out) my extraction socket felt much better so I decided to engage in oral sex with a guy and gave him brief unprotected oral (maybe 1-1.5 mins at most). He did not ejaculate in my mouth, but there may have been pre-seminal fluid.
On top of that I have had bad allergies this season and my throat has been dry and scratchy (almost a bit sore).
I keep reading that the only time oral is really a risk is if you have a gaping wound like a tooth extraction, so I have been freaked out a bit by reading that online.
My socket is no longer bleeding or hurting, but there is still swelling and a hole there, which makes me concerned.
Does the Truvada prep negate any concern still? Should I feel confident I am safe?

And as I mentioned while it’s no longer bleeding. It is still sensitive when I eat or stretch my mouth wide so maybe it’s still not fully healed. If that makes a difference
