1. Why do some people say Oral Sex is a low risk and Others Say its a NO risk...? (Could you please explain)

take it back to the anxiety foru.  you did NOT get hiv from kissing a girl who had recently given oral sex to another guy.   even though you did not have a risk...you have a conclusively negative test result.
