Yet another oral question

I believe I read somewhere that the cells that HIV needs to infect are not present in the lining of the mouth. Is this another reason oral is not a risk?

you had NO risk AND you have a conclusive test result to prove that you don't have hiv.

From what I gather on this forum is that Hiv is not transmitted through oral sex protected or unprotected.

not sure, but from oral sex no one gets hiv. anything is possible but highly inlikely. probably the same risk as protected sex with a condom. possible but unlikely
