• Worried?

I had sex with a transexual sex worker. I had receptive anal sex with a condom. And I gave her oral sex without a condom. She ejaculated and some got into my eye. What are the chances I could get HIV from exposure of that sort?

Mucous membrane exposures have a much lower risk than blood to blood but far from zero. I would get tested as soon as possible for HIV and also gonorrhea and chlamydia which could also lead to eye involvement. Health department, urgent care and community centers or your own MD would be good places to go.

Thanks for your question,

HIV, Hepatitis, and other sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted this way. If the source is not available to be tested, you should get tested for HIV, Hepatitis B and C now and at 1 and 3 months. Any symptoms should be followed by testing for gonorrhea and chlamydia, along with a syphilis screen. Please arrange this with your doctor.
