Always on the quest for knowledge

You all do a sensational job first off! There are thousands of posts about hiv transmission risks through cunnilingus. However I haven't seen anyone speak on another reason it's practically impossible to get it is because the vaginal fluids your mouth and tongue come in contact with are barely infectious anyway. Coupled with air and saliva. I know plenty are very paranoid about this; but to put their fears to rest even more. Has anyone spoken on the fact that the secretions on the clitoris aren't a threat? Just curious

The clitoris protrudes outside the body, no? So if we use logic, it is exposed to air. And if we use the second fact you say you are aware of, saliva secondly inactivates the virus. I can not think of why there is any other explanation than that needed. Risks for HIV, unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse or sharing IV drug needles to inject drugs. That's it.
