Thank u. A question. Why aidsvancover are saying there is small risk on oral sex.
Thank u very much. So as my 5 week HIV 1&2 test is dependable. And don't
I need any HIV test further from medical stand point?
Im in really tention.
We do not get into discussions about the advice coming from other sites or agencies. You will see some variations in the advice about oral sex, some people will say it's a low risk, others (like all of us here on MH) will say it's NO risk. You have to decide for yourself who to believe. Our advice is based on research and science.
I will post a link to a health page I authored about oral sex. Hopefully that will put things into perspective for you.
You have nothing to worry about.
That was an offensive question. "Is this only for to give reassurance?" Like anyone would tell you that you didn't have an exposure when you did. Get yourself some professional mental help, you didn't have an exposure.
Sorry to bother you again.
I have a last question just to consulate my self.
The experts who are giving no risk advise. Is this only for to give reassurance ? or it is based on medical science. I am confused coz come place where unprotected vaginal sex are saying low risk where most of we know it is risky.
Please don't take it other way .. please reply.

Dear experts I hava a question. The doctor form medhelp are saying on oral sex question:
Kevin Pho, MD
Aug 23, 2005
The major concern would be the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. Since there is commonly no barrier (i.e. a condom) for protection, any type of genital disease can be transmitted - gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, herpes, hepatitis, candidiasis (rarely), genital warts etc.
I would direct you to this article to further answer your question:

Followup with your personal physician is essential.

Please can you tell me which i believe. he is also the doctor of your forum.
I meet with a field worker of UNICEF who work on hiv. she told me saliva has hiv virus and can cause hiv transmission. i need test after 3 months. so are they confused me? or they have lac of knowledge. can any one help me by answer ?
Another question as doctors are saying there is no virtual risk of HIV what does it means? Then is any real risk ? confused. please help. and what is confirmatory test of hiv ?
in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
Dr. Garcia is from Freedom Health.
Dear teak
Thank you vary much.
Can you tell me about - freedomhelth, webmed, NHS Choice, helpteap who are working in HIV saying oral sex risk. so confused. as a expert can you tell my actual risk and which i ll believe?
please.. it is so kind of you.
There is nothing to answer. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex. No risk means there is no reason to test for HIV for oral sex.
Than you very much teak. you are really expert
But fnd please can i get my all question answer individually ?
by Emily_MHModerator,
And to clarify, it is this site's stance, based on studies and our own MedHelp experts (all of whom are world-renowned for their work in this field), that oral sex carries no risk for HIV.
