Can you contract Aids by swallowing semen?

Answer 1

As previous answerers have mentioned, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which can lead to AIDS (Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), is a blood based virus, so any other environment is harmful or fatal to the virus over time (a short period). so it can survive for medium length of time in semen or vaginal fluid, and for an even lesser time exposed to air or in other kinds of fluids, and less still in acid like the hydrochloric acid in your stomach.

There are several ways for the virus in semen to get into the bloodstream as it travels toward your stomach. Sores and open cuts on the mouth have been mentioned. inflammation of the larynx, bronchioles, tonsils, sinus tract, pharynx or esophogus that includes an abrasion, burst blood vessel or pore, that comes into contact with the infection could be a means of contraction.

It also takes some time for the virus to be destroyed, even in acid, so if you have a stomach ulcer, or even just a thinning of the mucus wall of the stomach lining where the virus could 'hide' till it finds better accomodation, it could be a means of contraction.

Think of the virus as a group of terrorists, trying to infiltrate your inner sanctum and destroy your immunological defence system. by swallowing the semen of an infected person you are harboring those terrorist cells in an environment that will PROBABLY kill them, but you know there are many more where they came from.

Are you willing to take the gamble that 'probably' will prevail? is it worth the risk for a little momentary satisfaction?

Answer 2

Semen ejaculated into your mouth from a man with hiv/aids COULD infect you.

Semen allowed to stand in the open air, say a shot glass etc. for 5 minutes or so and allowed to liquefy, will not.

Semen as dressing on salad from a man with aids WONT infect you.

If you are doing Semen Therapy and your donor has aids, always let his semen liquefy before you swallow it.

Semen Therapy is the practice of swallowing the ejaculation of a healthy man, three times a week or more, for the health benefits.

Answer 3

Unless you have a sore or cut in your mouth where some AIDS virus could enter your bloodstream, it would be rather unlikely, but yes, it is certainly possible (provided, of course, that the semen you swallow is carrying AIDS).

Answer 4

You CAN get the HIV virus, wich could develope into AIDS by having semen in your mouth. The act in and of itself of swallowing it is irrelevant, the oral cavity itslef is usually the vector of infection in oral sex though as there are many more entry ways into the blood streem there. I don't thinkyou could assume you are protected just by swallowing it into your stomach, but more than likely the virus would not survive in the stomach itself.

Answer 5

Going alongside with J S and Andie. The virus may well be destroyed by making use of the tummy hydrochloric acid as quickly because it gets there. besides the fact that, the tummy isn't the priority. Like those 2 posters reported, mucous membranes and open sores in one's mouth grant places for the virus to respond to the physique. As for each individual else, apparently like they did no longer study the whole question whilst they responded, so i might notably lots brush aside maximum of those different solutions.

Answer 6

Not by swallowing, since the virus is not viable to surviving in the acidity of the digestive tract, but if you do have sores in your mouth there's a slight chance.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

Probably not, because once the fluid is exposed to the air. the HIV (virus) loses its potence.
However it is not a good. idea after all. clinically I mean.

Good Luck

Answer 9

yes it comes from the exchange of body fluids anyway you exchange it

Answer 10

If you have open sores in your mouth
