What NURSE ANNIE says is true, but here's some practical real world advice:\nHIV is transmitted orally, although in specific parameters.\n- You can receive the virus performing oral sex on a man if:\n    1- You have braces.\n    2- you have any open sores or cuts in your mouth.\n    3- He cums in your mouth.\n    4- You swallow the ejaculate.\nSaliva and air kill the virus, as do the acids in your stomach and throat - still, it is best not take chances. You can perform oral sex on an infected penis - but use precautions. Do not swallow and/ or use a condom.\n\nPerforming oral sex on a woman, the same rules apply. IF you have open wounds or cuts or sores in your mouth, it is best to use a dental dam ( a flexible thin barrier).\n\nIn short - if you have a healthy mouth, you should be OK. Oral sex isn't considered risky behavior by most experts.  Be smart and protect yourself!

I seriously doubt it.  I guess, most of these people don't understand that if it was that easily spread, almost everyone would have it by now.  Kissing will NOT spread it...oral sex is said to have an EXTREMELY low chance because there are not any documented cases that it has been spread in this way.  Oral sex is more likely to spread other STDs...such as herpes.\n\nIf you've let a guy who is HIV positive go down on you, relax.  I don't think you've contracted it this way.  Go ahead and get checked if you are worried, though.  You should be checked regularly, anyway.\n\nBy the way, its not just plain *ucking stupid to even let him.  Remember, most of the people who answer questions on this site aren't the brightest people around.

yes AIDS is transmitted through body fluids, including vaginal secretions.

Straight people get AIDS too, that's very stereo typical.  I can't believe that you said that!  Well, no, you can't get AIDS/HIV from saliva.  You can only get it from sexual fluids, blood (transfusions/"blood brothers," etc...) and if you are pregnant and have AIDS, you can give it to your child upon birth.

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

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.

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.

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!

HIV is transmitted through direct contact of a mucous membrane 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: penetrative (anal or vaginal) sex; oral 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.

stds can be passed through body fluids so yes to stds and aids only if you have an open cut in your mouth.

HIV (human immunodefiencency virus) can only be transmitted through direct contact with blood or body fluids. (sexual intercourse, oral sex, sharing needles, etc.) it is unusual for HIV to be transmitted through kissing, although it is possible if one or both people have cuts, cold sores, or other open areas in the mouth or on the lips. you can not get HIV from hugging, or other contact like it. You should go to a good website for more information on HIV prevention, testing, and treatment.

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.

No u cannot get it.HIV is transmitted ,\n1.f a person engages in sexual intercourse with an infected person without using a condom, s/he can get infected. The sexual act can be both vaginal and anal.Theoretically oral sex without condom (on men) or barriers like dental dam, vaginal dams or plastic wrap (on women) can also transmit the infection.\n2.If a person shares the needle or syringe used by/on an infected person, either for injecting drugs or drawing blood or for any other purpose involving piercing, s/he can get infected. Instruments used for piercing and tattooing also carry a small risk of infection.\n3.A person can get the infection, if he/she is given transfusion of infected blood.\n4.If surgical devices like syringes and scalpels, or even certain instruments, used on an infected person, are used on another person without proper sterilization, they can transmit the infection.\n5.An HIV positive mother can transmit the virus to child during pregnancy or birth. Breast milk can also act as a transmission-medium.\neven if it has blood on it,HIV cannot survive when exposed to open air.\nNever mess with HIV,stay safe.Also,please devolp some knowledge on HIV/AIDS,u sound ignorant,like some guy who just came from the remotest jungles of Africa.

yes. In fact, unprotected (without a condom) anal sex (intercourse) is considered to be very risky behavior. It is possible for either sex partner to become infected with HIV during anal sex. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. In general, the person receiving the semen is at greater risk of getting HIV because the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow the virus to enter the body during anal sex. However, a person who inserts his penis into an infected partner also is at risk because HIV can enter through the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis) or through small cuts, abrasions, or open sores on the penis.

The risk of HIV transmission from an infected partner through oral sex is much smaller than the risk of HIV transmission from anal or vaginal sex. Because of this, measuring the exact risk of HIV transmission as a result of oral sex is very difficult. In addition, since most sexually active individuals practice oral sex in addition to other forms of sex, such as vaginal and/or anal sex, when transmission occurs, it is difficult to determine whether or not it occurred as a result of oral sex or other more risky sexual activities. Finally, several co-factors can increase the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex, including: oral ulcers, bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other STDs.

The virus is transmitted through close contact of mucous membranes, when bodily fluid is present. So, head of penis inside vagina or anus, head of penis to mouth. It's not an easy virus to transmit - it requires a certain amount of the virus to be present. The critical amounts are:\n\n1 drop of blood, or\n1 teaspoon of male ejaculate, or\n1 pint of saliva.\n\nIn other words, just kissing an HIV+ person can't pass the virus; but if someone has bleeding gums, then tiny amounts of blood in the mouth can pass the virus on through the head of a penis.\n\nIn all cases, use condoms to avoid infection.

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.
