Is it possible to contract HIV through oral sex?

Question

I really like this guy, and I just want to know.

Answer 1

Contrary to popular belief, oral sex is not a completely safe alternative to vaginal or anal sex. Chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis (multiple strains), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — including HIV — can be transmitted through oral sex.[14]. However transmission of HIV through fellatio or cunnilingus is relatively rare. Any kind of direct contact with body fluids of a person infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) should be avoided. In 2005, a research study at the College of Malmö in Sweden suggested that performing unprotected oral sex on a person infected with HPV might increase the risk of oral cancer .[15] The risk from most of these types of infection, however, is generally considered far lower than that associated with vaginal or anal sex.

Furthermore, oral sex should be avoided when either partner has wounds or open sores on the genitals or mouth, or bleeding gums in the mouth, or has recently brushed, flossed, undergone dental work, or eaten crunchy foods such as potato chips, all of which can cause small scratches in the lining of the mouth. These wounds, even when they are microscopic, increase the chances of contracting STDs that can be transmitted orally under these conditions. Such contact can also lead to more mundane infections from common bacteria and viruses found in, around and secreted from the genital regions. Because of this, many medical professionals advise the use of condoms in the performance of fellatio (flavoured condoms are available for this purpose) and the use of plastic or latex sheets (dental dams or ordinary plastic wrap) for cunnilingus, although the latter has failed to achieve the same level of widespread use as condoms.

Answer 2

Good enough you will have to inform her that sex is a feeling shared between two folks who love eachother. And if she will have to ever have sex before marriage, tell her to make use of safety, the entire protection she will be able to find. Yes which you could also contract HIV and STDs through oral. Tell her that im 15 and im still a virgin. So there is nothing wrong with waiting to have sex. Oh and inform her to under no circumstances let a man rush her into doing intercourse.

Answer 3

This is the 2nd time Ive answered this Q today. So here is my A:

While the risk of getting HIV from oral sex is much lower than having anal or vaginal intercourse, the risk still exists. While the risk of getting HIV from oral sex is low, other sexually transmitted diseases can be easily transmitted by oral sex.

The best way to minimize your risk of HIV or STDs is to use a condom each and every sexual contact!!!!! Or use the BEST tool.. ABSTINENCE! Wait til your married =)

Answer 4

Yes, it is possible, however, the likelihood of HIV transmission via oral sex is statistically low. The non-HIV carrier would have to have an open sore to allow for the siemen or blood from the carrier to pass. If one is having sexual relations with a known HIV carrier, please exercise extreme caution.

Answer 5

yes, you have to have some sort of open cut/wound in your mouth. Or he has it and he is going South.Always get tested and make him before you go any further, if he wants to be with you in any way,, he will... Best of Luck, Be safe..
