I had asked a question earlier and left very assured and happy. However browsing the internet at night came across something that shook me up.

In brief, I asked about receiving a protected oral sex. However I had my scortum licked and sucked a lot and inserted my finger in the mouth of the person as well. I am HSV2 positive but have never had an outbreak.

I left assured that saliva does not transmit hiv and infact kills it.

Later I found out that that is only true for HIV-1 and not 2. Saliva has no affect on HIV-2.

Does that not put me at a risk 

So this does not at all change my opinions and advice. Stop worrying about this. Of course you are free to be tested if you'll find a negative result more reassuring than my analysis.

This is what I read https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2875783/ for HIV-2 not damaged by saliva.

Reading a previous response of yours that HSV-2 increases the risk even if there has been no outbreak really worries me. My concern is that her saliva and some little blood came in contact with the base of my penis and scrotum (while she was sucking it) and HIV(1/2) came in contact with the skin (tears and cuts that I could not see) and infected me. Reading more on this, HSV2 creates an environment of high concentration of cells that HIV can infect.

I have nothing more to say about HSV2 and HIV transmission. Re-read my comments in the other thread.

Nobody in the world ever caught HIV of either type from an exposure like yours. Believe it, suck it up, and move on. And for goodness sake stop searching the internet on this. Like many anxious persons, you're being drawn to (and probably actively looking for) information that hightens your fears and missing (and probably not looking for) the reassuring information that actually is there is you try for it. The famous statististian Nate Silver (https://fivethirtyeight.com) wrote a book titled The Signal and the Noise about data and statistics, in which he describes your problem like this (approximate quote):  "Give an anxious person a computer with an internet connection in a dark room and soon he'll think his common cold is the bubonic plague." Lay off. And please no more questions that duplicate these or the ones discussed in your other thread.

I appreciate your help

The study cited looked at several physiologic mechansisms that suppress or kill HIV. That one of thoes mechansisms may be less active against HIV2 vs HIV1 does not necessarily translate into increated risk through oral sex. The killing of HIV by saliva is not necessarily important at all in the low risk of oral sex. The virtual absence of proved HIV infection by mouth to penis exposure, ever, is much more powerful evidence than the lab studies reported in that paper.

It's time for you to stop paying so much attention to the trees and pay attention to the forest of evidence that you were not at sigificant risk. If you continue to obsess about it, get tested. It seem clear that a negative test will do a better job of convincing you than even the most expert, reasoned, science based professional advice.
