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.

Yes: Yes, it is possible to get HIV from oral sex. While the risk is likely lower than vaginal or anal sex without a condom, there is still some risk involved. Studies have confirmed that unprotected oral sex can lead to HIV infection.

HIV oral transmiss'n: Although not a common route, HIV can be transmitted through oral sex. Hiv is transmitted via body fluids and blood. If either recipient or donor has an std or open cuts in contact with mucus membranes of the partner, the risk of transmission is higher. Condoms are recommended to reduce risk.

HIV: HIV has been reported as transmitted through oral sex, although not as frequently as through normal or anal intercourse. Make sure a new intended "partner" is tested for HIV to be as careful as possible, allowing for the fact that if the partner had not been exposed in the three to four months preceding contact with you that the HIV test may be a "false negative".
