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

person b will not get HIV unless person A has an open sore or cut in his/her mouth. HIV is spread through sexual secretions or body fluids such as sperm, or vaginal fluids. you can't get HIV from kissing someone unless there is an open wound, cut, or exchange of blood. if you suspect there might be a risk, which you should, there is an HIV protocal that can be administered by a doctor to help reduce the chance that you might get HIV from an infected person. but this emergency protocal has to be started within 3 days of sexual contact with an infected person.

Answer 3

It would be extremely unlikely to get HIV from kissing, even open-mouth deep kissing. HIV is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk and these fluids are not usually present during kissing.

Now if the person with HIV was bleeding somwhere in or on their mouth then yes you can contract the virus

Answer 4

hiv can be spread by oral sex if there is a cut or cold sore in the mouth.

Answer 5

I would think the chance would be greater if "A" was the giver, since there would be a greater chance of exposure by scrapes by teeth, etc. There's probably not a huge risk, but I suppose it could happen. If "B" gets away without contracting HIV, there's always hepatitis and herpes to worry about.

Answer 6

I think you are wrong. I don't think HIV can be spread through oral sex.

Answer 7

yes silly you need to take a HIV course bodily fluids is the number 1 way to get it but there are others

Answer 8

people with hiv shouldnt be having sex with none infected people,i would stay clear of that if you have a brain

Answer 9

Naw, go for it. UR fine.

Answer 10

yes, use protection
