Hiv risk from oral
Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to get hiv from oral sex and if so what are the chances of getting hiv from oral sex one time along with rimming?

As an adult, the only risks for HIV are:
1) having unprotected, penetrative vaginal or anal sex, or
2) sharing IV drug needles with other IV drug users.
If you don't do either of those activities, you will NEVER have to worry about HIV. Nothing else you can think of, including oral or rimming, is a risk for HIV.
