Question 1

can i get hiv by  having oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Oral sex involves giving or receiving oral stimulation (i.e., sucking or licking) to the penis (fellatio), the vagina (cunnilingus), or the anus (anilingus). Hiv can be transmitted during any of these activities, but the risk is much less than that from anal or vaginal sex.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is not common to transmit HIV with oral sex, but if you have any open sores in your mouth, that the HIV virus can cause an infection.

Question 3

can i hiv from get oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Sure, but no...: Many things are possible in life, which means the question "Can this happen?" is not useful because the answer is almost always yes, even if the chances of it happening are 1 in a million or 1 in a billion. The real question is "How likely is this to happen?"  HIV infections have been too many on Earth since the 1980's... and they are easily preventable. People don't get them by typical oral sex.

Unlikely, but yes!: Unlikely, but can be transmitted.  Hpv and herpes are more easily passed!

Question 5

can you get hiv by giving or getting oral sex??

Accepted Answer

ThisIsYourOralExam: At the 4th International Oral AIDS Conference held in South Africa, the risk of transmission through oral sex was estimated to be approximately 0.04% per contact. I guess that means you can do it 2,499 times and skip the 2,500th [NOT!]. The best answer is yes, but the chances are much less that from anal (1.4%) or vaginal (.08%) sex (these are rough numbers.But, basically, "yes," so use protection

Unlikely: But possible if partner giving oral sex has HIV plus there is any break in your penile skin. Always best to use a condom, even for oral sex.

Question 8

i receive oral sex from a women , i'm male . can i get hiv?

Accepted Answer

HIV: It is possible to contract HIV from any type of unprotected sex, including oral, anal, or vaginal sex. However, there are different levels of risk associated with each type of sex. Anal sex has the highest risk of transmission of HIV, whereas oral sex has the lowest risk. So, it is unlikely, however if you believe you may have been exposed to HIV you can consider post-exposure prophylaxis.

Question 9

if i have oral sex with someone who doesn't have hiv, can i still get hiv?

Accepted Answer

No: Someone has to have HIV in order to transmit it. So if both are truly negative, then no. Does not mean other STD(s) might not be present and transmissible.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No, but avoid blood: Many things are possible in life, which means questions like "Can this happen" are not useful because the answer is almost always YES, even if the chances of it happening are super rare. The real question is "How likely is this to happen?"  HIV infections have been too many on Earth since the 1980's... and they are easily preventable. Fortunately, people usually don't get them by typical oral sex.
