There are some that have claimed to have contracted it that way but none have been varified as that was their only risk. There have been several studies and ongoing studies where neg, pos couples that use condoms for anal and vaginal and not with oral and have never contracted HIV.

I gave oral to a guy three times to completion. Approximately 8 days later, I got a yeast infection. For the past three months I have had yeast infections for the past three months. I tested negative for HIV at 31 days. I go tomorrow for my 3 month test. Very worried because people say that yeast infections that are not easily curable are a initial sign of HIV in woman. Thanks!

NO, use acidic feminine wash at around ph of 4.5 commercial wash i believe restores the acidity of the vagina... or use 1 part vinegar 3 parts water as wash and ask your provider for antifungal/mycotic preparation oral or vaginal suppository

No, not even after 3 months. You didn't have a risk to begin with.

NO, do you have a risk? recurrent yeast infection can be brought about by many factors like recent broad spectrum antibiotic, that disrupts the normal flora in the vagina, or using soap as feminine wash and disrupts the acidity of the vagina,..
