I'm really anxious right now. After I took off the condom, I accidentally touched the tip of my penis with the same hand. Could this be a risk for HIV or any other harm? I'm pretty scared about this.

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.
