Oral sex - doubts

This is strange. Dr Garcia and Dr Hook say zero risk of HIV through oral sex while Dr HHH says low or minimal risk. All these doctors are experts. Teak and LiZzie also sent lots of data which confirms zero risk of hivthrough oral sex. How come Dr HHH says low or minimal risk?

I guess he's right, many research has created different outcomes. But they all conclude the same message. Oral sex is not a sexual encounter to be worried about too much. You can calculate your hiv transmission odds online at a non-profit organisation website (www.hiv-testing.com). It could be of help.

That,s just his opinion i guess but the majority say zero risk.I would stick with the majority.The exact same thing can be said about the window period.Some say 4 weeks,others 6 to 8 weeks and then of course the official window period which is 3 months.Don,t let it confuse you,there is plenty of data out there to support the zero risk fact and a 3 month window period for a conclusive result.
