I had a situation a few months ago where I was with a prostitute and the condom broke during sex. The next day, I took her for an HIV test, and thankfully, it came back negative. Since then, I've been really anxious about it even though I've had no symptoms. Can you help me understand what the chances are of something being wrong? I'm trying to calm my nerves but it's tough not knowing.

I'm curious and a bit worried about something. If a woman who is HIV positive gives me oral, could I get HIV from that? Also, what are some other ways STDs can spread?

Yes, HIV transmission is possible through oral sex, although the risk is considered lower compared to vaginal or anal sex; according to the CDC, the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex is estimated to be between 0-3% per act, with receptive oral sex (performing oral sex) posing a higher risk than insertive oral sex (receiving oral sex); other possible ways of STD transmission include vaginalanal sex, sharing needles, blood transfusions, and mother-to-child transmission during pregnancybirth.
