Oral sex risks

WHY is it that there is so much disagreement in the amount of risk involved in oral sex-HIV transmission? It's maddening for those of us suffering from anxiety due to fear of HIV exposure through receptive oral sex.

Thanks.

I too am suffering from this same issue. One time you hear it's no risk. The. You hear that there clearly is a risk. What gives?

Thanks. The Spanish serodiscordant unprotected oral sex study is enlightening.

It basically comes from relying too much on weak data.
