No sex activity is COMPLETLY safe as you put it. Its the person with whom one has sex. Howeve, each infectious desease has its own way of infecting the victim. Read more here:

Oral sex, therefore, can have its own type of infections, which, according to some recent research are HIV.
Read on:
The risk of contracting HIV from oral sex may be greater than previously thought.
It has long been known that the virus can be transmitted through oral sex - but the risk was thought to be minimal.
However, research in the UK and US among gay men now suggests that oral sex may be responsible for up to 8% of HIV infections.
Instead of a handful of cases a year in the UK of HIV being transmitted through oral sex, we are seeing 30 to 50
Dr Barry Evans
Other sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis and gonorrhoea are also spread from person to person by oral sex.
Public health experts fear that the public is unaware of the dangers associated with the practice because it remains largely a taboo subject.
In addition, anecdotal evidence from other countries like the US suggests that people tend to reject messages advising them always to use condoms for oral sex.
In fact, such messages can, in theory at least, put people off condom use altogether.
Greater awareness
A report by the Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) report concludes it is important for people to be more aware of the dangers and decide for themselves the level of risk they consider acceptable.
Dr Barry Evans, an PHLS expert on sexual diseases, said: "The picture that is emerging is that the risk is greater than previously thought.
"Instead of a handful of cases a year in the UK of HIV being transmitted through oral sex, we are seeing 30 to 50."
Dr Evans stressed that HIV is mostly spread through anal and vaginal sex.
Recent studies confirm that unprotected anal sex is clearly the highest risk activity, accounting for over 90% of transmission in gay men in the UK.

Absolutely NOT! You can catch most of the same STD's from oral sex that you can with vaginal/anal sex including HIV, herpes, gonorrhea, warts, etc. Your throat can actually get infected with gonorrhea. To be safer, oral sex should be performed with a condom on at all times.
