A condom is not 100% effective against HIV/AIDS or pregnancy, using it correctly is, however, the best option. Their is HIV in semen, therefore, there is some chance of contracting HIV from oral sex, however, there are very, very few cases where this might have happened and the chances are very slim. DO NOT brush your teeth before hand, open cuts in the mouth greatly increase the risk.

No, a condom does not necessarily prevent you from getting HIV/AIDS.. It simply decreases it..
Remember HIV is spread through bodily fluids of an INFECTED person. In order to get HIV from oral sex in the scenario that you described the person would have to be HIV positive. Research has proven that HIV is found in minute amounts of HIV positive person's saliva. It is best to use a dental dam or use an oral condom when giving or receiving such. Beyond HIV, so many other STI's can be spread from oral copulation such as Herpes Simplex 1 and 2, which is also uncurable. Ultimately, you have to remember the chain of infection as I am learning this in school. Some conditions have to be met. 1) there has to be a microbe HIV .2) There has to be a Reservoir where it replicates. IE, inside a person's body. 3) There has to be a point of exit, Semen, breast milk, rarely saliva, cut open wound etc.. 4) Mode of Transmission Directly, sex to sex or via sexual intercourse, transfusion 5) There has to be a point of entry from the receiver---Like sex,--vaginal anal, oral etc... 6) There has to be a susceptible host... This is the entire population.. When these conditions are met all the time.. This is how infections such as HIV are spread as well as other infection in general...

So....YES, YES, YES, you can contact HIV during oral sex as the giver or receiver of such if your partner is infected with the various. This can be with or without symptoms. Remember, during oral sex, it is possible to tear the skin little abrasions. and this provides a point of entry. If you are providing oral sex to the male, the semen if it is within your mouth, remember we brush our teeth, this creates tears in the mucous membranes in the mouth..
The key to this who thing is always yes a possibility of spreading infection if you or your parter are HIV positive. Final recommendation.. Always use protection and get tested. People live long lives with HIV..Early detection is the key too.

Answer 4

Yes a condom can prevent it if used right and every time you have sex. Yes it is possible to contract the virus by oral sex. Anytime you exchange bodily fluids. If the guy would have an open cut in his mouth he could pass the virus to you.

Answer 5

A condom is only 99.9% effective when used properly. Assuming the lord hasn't forsaken your pathetic soul you should be fine. The oral sex is definately out of the question though. It is very likely that you would contract HIV from a person that has it through oral sex.

Answer 6

Where have you been?!?! A condom lowers the risk but does NOT prevent. You can also contract it if the female performs oral sex on the male. I don't think it works the other way though...

Answer 7

Condoms are in basic terms one hundred% secure while right it is genuine. you employ a Latex condom It stay in place throughout intercourse (from start to end) in case you employ lube, use water based lubricants using fact oild based ones can injury up the condom the reason you hear that condoms are ninety seven-ninety 8% powerful is using fact some do injury (usually human blunders) and the two-3% is to account for persons that slip off or injury. undergo in concepts that HIV won't be able to bypass by way of latex. sturdy good fortune and be secure

Answer 8

Prevent 100% no, but it's the best option, if used correctly it has a 97% of effectiveness. Any time you exchanche body fluids, be it semen, saliva, etc... The virus travels through the liquids, and takes advantage if there's any open sore in your mouth, genitals to get directly into your bloodstream

Answer 9

I'm not a doctor. But as far as i know, AIDS is not transmitted through saliva. Unless there's a cut/open wound somewhere that somehow enables the virus to enter your system.

Condoms give protection up to approx. 99.9% of the time.

Final advise, be choosy about your sexual partner.

Answer 10

It reduces the risk by 99.9% and yes you can contract AIDS from oral sex.
