Is hiv possible with oral sex and if yes, how risky?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Oral sex: Taking semen into your mouth does put you at risk. It is very low risk, in general, but HIV can be caught this way.

Low: I agree very low risk but if open sore, cut in mouth bleeding gums risk of transmission increased studies have shown transmission is difficult thru oral sex route.
