can someone get aids through oral sex?what are the risks?

Answer 1

You can't contract AIDS, but you can contract HIV (the virus that causes AIDS).

Chances of getting HIV through oral sex are pretty rare though. According to this site, it's about 1 in 10,000 when it is receptive oral sex (receiving) and about 0.5 in 10,000 when it's insertive oral sex (giving).

Answer 2

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 3

I need to correct you and others that told you yes to you question. A person can not spread or contact AIDS from someone, AIDS is merely a diagnoses (CD4 count below 200, 14% or less ratio, or having an opportunistic infection) that will make a person as AIDS defined, only a doctor can diagnose AIDS, it is the results of being exposed to HIV. The risk is as follow Unprotected anal, vaginal, oral sex or needle sharing with an HIV positive partner.

Answer 4

You can get STDs from oral sex. HOWEVER, it is unlikely that anyone giving oral sex to a woman would ever get gonorrhea, chlamydia or HIV. You could get syphilis, and herpes this way though. If you are a woman receiving oral sex, you could get syphilis, and herpes. Nothing else. Not HIV.

Anyone giving oral sex to a man has a greater chance of getting an STD than anyone giving oral sex to a woman. Enzymes in our mouths kill many bacteria. Our throats are a different issue. Giving oral sex to a man can put you at risk for gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes and syphilis. If you are a man receiving oral sex, you are primarily at risk for syphilis and herpes.

There have been no documented cases of HIV transmission through oral sex on women. Period. Doesnt mean it couldnt happen though, especially if the woman is bleeding and the partner giving oral sex has just flossed, or has some sort of open sore in his/her mouth.

EVERYONE WHO IS HAVING SEX SHOULD HAVE AN ANNUAL STD TEST- FOR ALL KNOWN STDS.

Answer 5

Yes they can and the risk is just as high as sex if you *** in her mouth. The mouth is nothing but a big mucus membrane that the virus could go through very easily. If you have AIDS and you allow someone to to oral on you without them knowing you have AIDS you can go to jail for murder.

Answer 6

you should continually use a condom on a guy and a dental dam on a lady. there's a intense threat of catching aids, even with in case you do not swallow because once you've a decrease on your mouth and any of the different persons actual fluids get on your mouth you're uncovered to the virus. also, I observe fairly some human beings responding to this question are saying, "Why have sex with someone who has AIDS?" you do not inevitably understand if someone has AIDS earlier you've sex with them and may take precautions as even with the actuality that anybody you've sexual contact with has AIDS or HIV.

Answer 7
