Unprotected Oral Sex is unsafe.For Example in case of HIV,Oral sex is supposed to be a Low Risk Activity,but pls note there is still a Risk.The risk increases in case one has Bleeding Gums,Ulsers/Boils in the Mouth. \nHaving said this,Dude,if u dont want to get any STD the best way is to practice Abstinance from Sex until Marriage.After Marriage,be faithful to your uninfected wife.This is a sure way to keep HIV away.\nABC's of safe sex are:\nA: Abstinance \nB:Being faithful to 1 uninfected partner.\nC:Correct and consistent use of condoms reduces the chances             \nof STD's.\nStay Safe.

The best solution to this problem is having a screening test done before marriage, which is now practiced in most of the countries by almost all the people.\n\nDoctors advice condoms immediately after marriage for two reasons\n1. it helps in avoiding children, if the couple doesn't need them immediately\n2. even though the screening test which is done before marriage is negative,  for a person to be ruled out from HIV infection, another test should be negative which is done after 6 months from the first test.(off course some advanced and costly tests can detect it even earlier)\n3. the problem u suggested that a woman or a man cannot suggest his/ her partner to wear a condom, as the others feel  bad about it is always there, but it should be overcome by mutual understanding and discussion.\n\nhope this helps...............

ALWAYS WEAR A CONDOM AND NEVER HAVE SEX THAT INVOLVES ANYONES BLOOD! DON"T DO DRUGS INTERVENSIOULY AND MOST DEFINATELY NEVER NEVER SHARE A NEEDLE!! TO BE A CARRIER YOU DO HAVE HIV BUT YOU DON"T KNOW YOU ARE INFECTED! If IN DOUBT ASK THIS PERSON IF THEY HAVE FREQUENT SEX WITH DIFFERENT PARTNERS AND IF THEY GIVE AN HONEST ANSWER YOU'LL HAVE AN iDEA AND IF IT WAS A ONE NIGHT AFFAIR AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN YOU'LL HAVE AN IDEA AND THAT IS TO BE TESTED NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCE. WEAR YOUR RAINCOAT FROM NOW ON!!!

i live in south africa, that willhelp very much!!!  But our government cant even get antiretroviral drugs to help people with aids to them, how will they get a vaccine to them?  Our health minister promotes the eating of garlic as a cure against aids and our former vice president said that if you showered after having sex you reduce your chances of getting aids.  Heaven help my country

False. While safe sex will help stop the spread, it is thought that 50% of people living with AIDS contracted the diease through shared needle use.  The only answer to AIDS is a cure.  We are moving closer each day to that goal.  I hope to be there the day it happens.  It will be the single greatest event of our lifetime!

AIDS is caused by a virus HIV(Human Immunodeficiency Virus)\nOn can get infected by HIV by,\nunprotected penetrative sex (vaginal, anal, oral) with an infected partner,.\nTransfusion of infected blood and blood products.\nContaminated needles and syringes and \nFrom an infected mother to her baby before, during delivery or through breast milk.\n\nCondoms make sex safer when used properly but they are not 100 percent safe. Safety factors to check on when buying and using condoms are,\n- Expiry date of the condom - do not use one which has expired.\n- Storage - condoms should be kept away from the heat (for example, from car glove compartments, direct sunlight), and pressure (for example, sitting on a wallet containing condoms).\n- Making sure that sharp objects do not tear a condom during use.\n- Making sure that the air is expelled from the teat of the condom while wearing, so as to prevent it from bursting during intercourse.\nIts a myth that only gays get it,anybody who has unprotected hetrosexual or homosexual relations with an infected partner(same sex or oppisite sex) is at risk of being infected with HIV.\n\nI'm telling u all I know about HIV since uve answered ur question urself.

Being HIV+, I drink an Herbal Tea from China (12 plants combinaison called Revivo) to boost my immune system to the max and stay off antiretrovirals as long as possible.\n\nAnd it works beautifully!

Yes,ask your sex partners.  There's no harm in asking someone if they have had an HIV test.  That information can keep the both of you healthy.

Don't do any activities like this with someone who has the HIV virus. It's not safe. A "rubbing session" will most certainly lead to "other sessions"...

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 is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal secretions...so that means no oral...sorry. Don't think that precautions like "Dental Dams" are worth the risk, they aren't.

The best way to prevent disease is to have a strong immune system.\n\nThis is acheived by a healthy diet that avoids animal products, processed food and sugar, good exercise for an hour per day, regular sleep, sunshine, and love.\n\nIf you have all those, you will not get diseases.

Absolutely not. All you will achieve by having a shower is getting cleaner. The only way to prevent HIV/Aids is to be careful and use a barrier method of contracteption (e.g. condom, femidom) every single time bodily fluids may come into contact. Don't take a risk!
