A wonderful quality, the salive carries naturally is, it does not provide a friendly environment for HIV to reside or survive. How kind the nature is with us.

Unless salive is contaminated with considerable amount of blood, the risk is "zero". That's why this is a proven fact that all oral behaviours are virtually risk free.
