A member asked:

What is the risk of hiv transmission through oral sex? for example if one partner is hiv+ and other negative?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HIV risk: oral: Any sexual exchange orally involves a risk of transmission of HIV. The risk is lower with oral sexual activity, but still possible. Ask you provider for an HIV test to be certain.
