Yes: Vaginal secretions can contain hiv. Hiv can be tranferred by oral sex, though less likely, more likely to happen if the oral mucosa has bleeding, but this can be caused by things as simple as brushing the teeth too aggressively or having severe gingivitis.

Yes and yes: Vaginal secretions can contain hiv. Oral sex is one of the practices through which HIV can be transmitted, although it is less dangerous than anal or vaginal sex.
