Oral sex risk from USA CDC

I sew below info from USA CDC Web state

Oral Sex and the Risk of HIV Transmission
The risk of HIV transmission from an infected partner through oral sex is much less than the risk of HIV transmission from anal or vaginal sex. Measuring the exact risk of HIV transmission as a result of oral sex is very difficult. Additionally, because most sexually active individuals practice oral sex in addition to other forms of sex, such as vaginal and/or anal sex, when transmission occurs, it is difficult to determine whether or not it occurred as a result of oral sex or other more risky sexual activities. Finally, several co-factors may increase the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex, including: oral ulcers, bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other STDs. What is known is that HIV has been transmitted through fellatio, cunnilingus, and anilingus.

What is known is that HIV has been transmitted through fellatio, cunnilingus, and anilingus.It's very scared for oral sex.Has been confirmed case by USA CDC?

Teak What's in your opinion.

because PPL LIE about their exposure ! ! ! ! !

tell me how many MEN...who are married...want to admit to their wives and families that they cheated... with another MAN?  somehow they seem to justify to themselves that if they just tell them it was "only oral sex" that it is not as bad as having ANAL sex with another MAN.

there has NEVER been a verified and documented case of oral sex only, transmitting hiv.
