Pericoronitis and HIV.

Hello

I was wondering if performing oral sex (with ejaculation) on a guy while suffering from pericoronitis(not bleeding) or other minor gum related infections put me at the risk of getting HIV infected?

Thank You!

No it did not put you at risk for HIV transmission.

What about when the blood involves, like an open wound in mouth let's say? what happens then?

Thanks again.

Saliva contains over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that inhibit HIV transmission.
