Oral and the consequences?

just a quick question . . . how is unprotected oral not a risk (felattio for the receiving person). Say the guy ***s in his/her mouth, he/she swallows, then that *** goes to his/her stomach and into her bloodstream right??? wouldn't this pose a significant risk? Am i missing something?

No that wouldn't be a risk and yes you are missing something. Saliva in the mouth and acids in the stomach inhibits HIV transmission.
