I recently had protected sex with a sex worker, but she gave me a blowjob without a condom. Should I be worried about the risk of HIV?

While using a condom during vaginal or anal sex significantly reduces the risk of HIV, oral sex (especially unprotected) does carry a lower but not negligible risk. The likelihood of transmission through oral sex is much lower than with penetrative sex, but it's still important to monitor for any symptoms and consider getting tested for peace of mind. If you have concerns, consult a healthcare provider for advice and potential testing.
