On oral sex

After extensive research,  unprotected oral sex found to be a theoritical risk rather than documented risk for hiv. However the risk is not zero. On theory, semen may enter if the mouth has open sores or wounded if the partner of the performer is HIV+, on the other hand, blood of the open sores or wound of the performer mouth enter the partner's urethra.
assuming the theoritical risk exist, what amount of blood in the mouth of the one performing can enter the urethra of the partner. does it need a substantial amount or just a drop of blood to get infected with HIV?
anyone willing to share with me?

I dont know man, Im not for USA. Im from far east of the world from you

I was just asking because most of us rely on the internet's information from your place. We always expect the americans to be well known in most of the subjects in the world since you all always wants to be number one in everything, bare in mind im not in anyway being sarcastic.

We all outside of america rely on information that are from USA in most cases.
So, as we google the term "HIV", CDC appears to be second on the search results, thats what we gonna click man!!
How reliable are those infos?

Oral sex by means no protection at all if that what your referring to.
Does this mean a person whether his the receptive or insertive, there are no risk at all for him if he engaged in oral sex?

Are you being affirm on saying oral sex is low risk by which it means the same thing as no risk(zero risk) at all concerning to HIV?

then, if that is your stance in this issue, why do they came out with the .005% of  HIV infection from oral sex?. Your CDC in USA should eliminate oral sex concern from HIV,  because it is causing anxiety and confusion to many people who is going to post on their concern in regards to their oral sex experiences relating to HIV infection which of  cause it is waste of time for them to be worrying on this.

Why dont CDC eliminates oral sex from HIV infection and affirming people that would be zero risk.

  Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex.  This includes by all of the people who had gum disease, sores or bleeding in their mouths, etc. DR. HOOK

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex.  The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.  Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk".  There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex.  Please educate yourself about the real risks.  If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. "   DR HANSFIELD

"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..."   DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK

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
