my concern

hi,
i have a few questions relates to unprotected oral sex, is it more likely to get infected HIV by receiving a oral sex from a infected women who just got infected in 1-2 month? some documents said that peoples are more likely to transimit HIV during the acute HIV infection peroid, becasue his/her body fluid carries more viral load  at that time.
1) is this true?
2) is the same when it comes to saliva? ( does saliva carries more HIV virus at that time?)

Oral sex isn't a risk of contracting HIV. Saliva isn't infectious.
