Can HIV be transmitted through an infected gum or tooth inside the mouth if there is no bleeding occuring?

If there is an open wound of some kind (which is possible even if you don't know it) but getting HIV by mouth is very very rare, it may never have happened at all in fact, though theoretically not impossible

There is a possibility of getting an STD from anyone who is sexually active. If they have engaged in oral sex, then they are indeed sexually active. However, please note that the HIV virus rarely transmits through oral sex, as it does not survive inside saliva. It would only transmit through open cuts inside the mouth, or on the genital region. It does NOT burrow into your cheeks in any way, shape, or form. It is carried in the bloodstream, and is transmitted via Blood, seminal fluids, and vaginal fluids. \n\nIf you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local department of public health. Free testing is available, as well as risk reduction, and post-infection counseling

Yes, there are risks involved, as with any sexual act where blood, semen, or vaginal secretions have the potential to enter your bloodstream.  Everyone has minute fisures on their gums where there can be transferrance of these fluids into your blood stream.  Oral sex is considered to have a much lower risk factor than vaginal or anal sex without protection.  If you want to lessen this risk, don't brush your teeth for at least six hours prior to doing this act.  But don't bet on getting a second date...\n\nI'm sure that many will find this hard to believe (see supporting documentation below) but your risk lessens if you swallow quickly rather than letting it remain in your mouth or spitting it out where it passes past your gums again.

The chance of getting HIV from this is so unlikely it's practically impossible. Although there can be some HIV in saliva, it has to get into your bloodstream to infect you.

This is crazy - of course STD's can be tranferred from oral! I hope u don't blow a guy with aids or syphillis. Also , watch out for bleeding gums and canker sores.

The risk of contracting HIV here is very low... but if your girlfriend had HIV and she was bleeding from an open sore inside her mouth and you ingested some of her blood (EVEN a microscopic amount) then there is some chance you could contract the virus but the odds are against it. Why take chances with your life?

YES you can most definitely contract the HIV infection through oral sex....any exposure you have with an infected persons bodily fluids exposes you to the dangers...if you are giving oral sex and the person releases there fluids into your mouth it is the same thing as being exposed to the infected persons blood...so be careful...you should always use protection when performing any type of sexual function...oral or penetration...

Not necessarily... See AIDS transmission does not necessarily happen though digestive tract.... \n\nIf the person who had the semen has a small gash in his/her mouth and or digestive tract there is a possibility of infection. Since the stomach is filled with acid it is not a good environement for most viruses.\n\nStill the best way to find out is to get tested and further testing withing after a 6 month waiting period.

Nope, just in the unlikely situation that both kissing ends have oral ulcers that are bleeding, Otherwise no. AIDS is transmitted sexually, vertically( from mother to fetus),  by sharing needles used for drugs(most common in prisons), and by getting blood transfusion frim an infected donor.

only fluid transfer causes aids, i believe saliva doesn't count but dont quote me on that

The risk of getting HIV from a dentist or his staff is very low due to the fact that the virus can not live without a human host for more than a matter of minutes and even then there must be an opening in the recipients(patient) skin or mucous membrane AND blood from the HIV infected person (dentist) has to touch that opening for a transfer of the virus to occur. It is far more likely for the patient to give the virus to the dentist. However either situation is very rare. \n\n   The likelyhood of Hepititis being transferred is far more likely because the hepititis virus does not need a human host to live and actually lies dormant in human blood that has dried on a surface outside the body. It is reactivated when it becomes wet again which makes this virus much more dangerous in terms of getting it at a dental office. The dentist and their staff are more likely to get the virus than to give the virus in both cases but are at much higher risk of getting Hepititis than HIV.

It is very uncommon to contract HIV from woman-to-woman sexual contact.\n\nHowever, it is still possible! The HIV virus can be present in vaginal fluids, blood, and breast milk. It is recommended to always use condoms with shared toys. There is a potential for HIV to be transmitted through any contact of bodily fluids (via an open sore in the mouth, for example).

Kissing\n\nCasual contact through closed-mouth or "social" kissing is not a risk for transmission of HIV. Because of the potential for contact with blood during "French" or open-mouth kissing, CDC recommends against engaging in this activity with a person known to be infected. However, the risk of acquiring HIV during open-mouth kissing is believed to be very low. CDC has investigated only one case of HIV infection that may be attributed to contact with blood during open-mouth kissing.

Can I get HIV from oral sex? \nYes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex. \n\nIf the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through \n\nthe lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis); \nthe lining of the vagina or cervix; \nthe lining of the anus; or \ndirectly into the body through small cuts or open sores. \nIf the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body. \n\nThe risk of HIV transmission increases \n\nif the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat; \nif the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or \nif the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD). \nNot having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV. \n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male, \n\nuse a latex condom on the penis; or \nif you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used. \nStudies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently. If either partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms for either the male or female can be used. For more information about latex condoms, see "Male Latex Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases." \n\nIf you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female, \n\nuse a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. A latex barrier such as a dental dam reduces the risk of blood or vaginal fluids entering your mouth. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \nIf you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming), \n\nuse a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \nIf you choose to share sex toys with your partner, such as dildos or vibrators, \n\neach partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and \nbe sure to clean sex toys between each use. \nIf you would like more information or have personal concerns, call CDC-INFO 24 Hours/Day at 1-800-CDC-INFO (232-4636), 1-888-232-6348 (TTY), in English, en Espaٌol. \n\nBut on the other hand reports say it is very minimal:\nhttp://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn1156

HIv/Aids is a puzzle in our society, saliva transfer is highly unlikey but does exsist. Any open sores or cuts maybe you bit your jawl there is a possiblity. Herpes YES. Oral sex is being offered up as a safe way to avoid the issues of PVI ( penile vaginal intercourse) but that is not the case. While you may likely not get AIDS or HIV you will probably get Herpes or other Viruses. Use a dental dam or other protective products, have yourself and partner tested regularly for STD's. Your best resource is your doctor.

Studies have shown that there are more HIV/AIDS infected straight people than homosexuals.  To answer your question the way you can get infected from oral is if the sucker has open sores in their mouth and you have a cut on your penis to allow the strain to mix into your blood.  Many misconceptions about HIV is that you can get it from saliva, which is untrue.

any exchange of fluids is a gamble but usually a  sore or wound is necessary to get aids but if you go ask about the most recent test they have had and get tested for free at the city or county clinic and a another sure way to get aids is blood if one of you has a sore in the mouth or anus and exchages blood over the wound then its more likely to infect than saliva since salive is acidic and has some digestive emsymes
