Have to ask

I did use the search feature and read a lot about how the vast majority of folks giving advice on this site, including the docs, rate oral sex as a no risk or a very very low risk activity. Does this take into consideration the new study done on tonsils. My concern is that I've had frequent problems with my tonsils. (many many infections) Just last night I had performed all of about 10 seconds to 15 seconds total of oral sex on another male of unknown status. It was about 5 seconds of rough deep oral. He certainly never ejaculated and I don't know if there was any precum. Today I have a sore throat....probably just coincidence....but was there any risk due to my shotty tonsils and his penis banging against them potentially leaving precum behind? Thank you

So after reading the "bumped" post I'm not sure if I trust the answer I got from boondock. Is he one of the folks that you're referring to? Should I or anyone else on here only trust answers from Teak, Nursegirl or Lizzie?

They will tell you the same thing that boondock has told you.

oral sex carries no risk for hiv transmission.

IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN INFECTED...ars symptoms would come at 2-4 weeks after infection and last for 1-2 weeks.

I appreciate the answer Lizzie. Just one more question. Why is oral sex no risk yet breast fed babies are definitely at risk.?That doesn't make sense to me.

Teak, nursegirl, Lizzie? Do you guys know the answer to this? A baby being infected by breast milk would be no different then an oral sex situation as far as I can see. So why can't you contract it through oral sex if you can contract it drinking breast milk?

Babies do not have a real immune system yet and they get a lot of breast milk from the mother. HIV is in breast milk but it is not in saliva. Saliva actually helps inhibit the HIV virus.
