This is your third forum question -- the last 2 ½ years ago. All three concern exposures without penetrative sex, and on quick glance I think we also discussed the low risk of saliva exposure. Saliva rarely if ever transmits any STIs, both because it typically contains few infectious particles and because saliva is toxic to most pathogens. It kills HIV, for example. In other words, you had a well protected exposure and the saliva contact before condom placement did non increase the risk. Oral-vaginal contact also is very safe -- you were at no measurable risk from that brief contact.

So I see no measurable risk you could have acquired any STI and therefore no chance you can infect your wife with anything. I see no need for testing or for not continuing your normal sex life at home.

I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Had my yearly physical Tuesday (8 days post exposure), told Dr about the exposure and he said he would run tests since I seemed anxious.  HIV, Syphilis, Gon/chla,Herpes 1&2 all negative.  Today 10 days post exposure, I have a small white bump that is sore on the end of my tongue.  I’m pretty sure I’ve had one of these before. My question is, could this be related to the oral exposure described below?  Would the syphilis test have been positive if this was a syphilis sore even though I know 6 weeks is the correct timeline for a conclusive test? I know this is my last follow up and trying to put this behind me.  Thanks!

That concludes this thread. I hope it helps you move on without giving these issues another thought.
