Let's try education. HIV can be transmitted via sex, but also by blood transfusions, blood contact, kissing, needles and other methods of bodily fluid transfer. HIV is not a conviction and does not condem a person for a way of life. Some have been transfered unknowingly by someone else's life style. It is not a judgement. and should not be treated as such.

No, that's a deadly urban myth, file it away and forget about it.Unprotected sex {including oral} can transmit HIV regardless of what you do after the act!

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.

Right.  Technically, AIDS is not sexually transmitted.  The virus that causes it, HIV, is sexually transmitted, though.

HIV is a blood bord disease. You can not get it from kissing. You would have to swallow over a gallon of infected spit to have to worry. You can't tell by looking at a person that they have HIV. I have had it 17yrs . The main ways to catch HIV is by sharing needles, unprotected sex, and getting someones infected blood in an open cut. But it is also hard for a woman to give it to a man. So if you are around blod don't touch it, just be safe and be careful...

The principal means of transmision of the HIV virus are by sexual transmision, by blood contact and from mother to child. Therefore, unless there is some form of cut (which might not be visible to the naked eye) in the region of the mouth or upper digestive tract the probability of an infection is quite slim.

No, AIDS can only be transmitted by blood or semen. It also cannot live long outside the human body, and can be killed easily with simple everyday disinfectants. Unless there was blood all over the doorknob and you cut your hand open while opening it and rubbed your wound into the blood there's nothing to worry about.\n\nBlood or semen. That's it.

Aids is a disease that is spread through intercourse with different partners during sexual acts, or sharing dirty infected needles for drug useage, or even from bodily fluids being exchanged... \n\nSource(s):\nHIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane or the bloodstream with a bodily fluid containing HIV, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluid, preseminal fluid or breast milk. This transmission can come in the form of: (anal or vaginal) sex; blood transfusion; contaminated needles; exchange between mother and infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding; or other exposure to one of the above bodily fluids.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/aids...

No, mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS. This is because in order for it to transfer, it would have to stay alive inside the mosquito, but it's block by it's salivary glands, so it's like, killed. This is the way for them to survive. Any mosquito that sucks an HIV positive blood, would completely kill the virus so it doesn't harm themselves. Learned this today in Science! I'm so proud I learned something!

If the cut or laceration has exposed blood (bodily fluid) on both folks, it is possible to transmit HIV (the virus that can lead to AIDS if unchecked). However, it is more likely to transmit hepatitis. HIV is a very fragile virus that dies in contact with the air once outside the body. However, if the fluids exchange in very intimate contact where air is not present (pressing lips and rubbing frantically will do it), the chances for infection increase. There is no current evidence (in the 20 plus years we have been studying the disease transmission modes) that saliva transmits enough of the viable virus to cause infection.

The HIV pos partner would have to be bleeding tremendously and you would have to be drinking like a gallon of it. Saliva will kill the virus so it is not possible to get HIV from someone who kisses you  or if you drink after them.

It's not as likely, but yes, 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.\nRead this article: \nhttp://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/faq/faq19.htm

Yes, but only if the blood is still wet.  Check the Source out for more info.\n\nEDIT: allstarlight: sorry, but you're wrong.  only salival transmission requires open sores in the mouth because of its low concentration of the virus.  fluids like semen or blood are highly concentrated with the virus, which is why they can be transmitted through ingestion.

be cautious.. avoid needles. always use a condom, even with oral sex. dont kiss anyone if you have any sores or cuts in your mouth, or if its in theirs. \n\nblood transfusions also can give you hiv, but thats rare.\n\njust be careful :)

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...

Yes. Herpes, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, and HIV are among the STDs that can be transmitted through oral sex. use protection
