Hello,
Sorry to ask a question that seems to have. Ren asked a few times but mi e is a bit different (I think)...
I performed oral on a high risk women without protection...overall my oral health is good but I had some irritation on the inner cheak at the time. Below are my questions...
1) some say it is a risk but what I don't understand is that how can fluids on ones clitoris be infectious when clearly it is exposed to air?
2) would the irritatation increase the risk?
3) it lasted maybe 3 licks of the clit....maybe a bit on the lips...is this risky if it touched my irritatation?
4) some say it is a risk while others so no?? Can you explain why there is such confusion?

Evidence that what has happened?
Because there are reported cases of people who say they got HIV from oral. There has also been some short term after interview studies that show a risk. But all the good info show no risk.

IS there any shred of evidence that this has happened? what is wrong with places like the CDC? why say there is a risk if there really isnt?
I am from canada and our government has a different stand on oral...they do agree that there is little to no risk and dont even recommend testing for this situation.....I think the problem in the US is that there are too many voices being heard...too many "experts" that have their own opinion!
If as you said science has proven this does not occur why is it so hard for these "experts" just agree, why are they looking for any little bit that might be of concern....

Saliva has a big part to play in it. Saliva has over a dozen different enzymes and proteins that breakdown and deactivate the virus.
WOW that is something....I just cant get my head around the fact that in order to get infected you need infectious fluis and a point of entry? The vaginal secretions are the infectious fluid and the mucosal membrane in the mouth is the point of entry?
With what everyone know about the science of HIV how does oral sex not cause infections?

FROM THE HIV EXPERTS HERE AT MEDHELP:
"As you know from other posts about oral sex, our stance is that giving or receiving oral sex is not a risk for HIV. Some others suggest that there is an appreciable risk of HIV from oral sex however, there are no convincing scientific reports which support these statements. The presence of a burn in your mouth, or a sore, or ingestion of blood does not change this. Still no risk an no reason for testing." DR HOOK
"As far as HIV is concerned, there is no known risk of getting HIV from performing oral sex on an infected partner, even if that person's genital secretions get into your eyes or if you swallow" 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. HANDSFIELD
"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 HANDSFIELD
"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
The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort). DR. HOOK
"With regard to the question you ask, I will repeat, as I’ve said more times than I can think- there are NO credible cases in which persons have acquired HIV through performance of oral sex- none!!. The chance that you will be the first is ridiculously low. You are more likely to be hit by lightening while reading my reply to you. DR HOOK

Thank you... Is it true that there has not been any cases where the one performing oral? Even a man on man?
I ask because some there are documented cases? Where are these cases?
