hiv...two questions

(1)  In a lesbian relationship, if one partner is hiv positive, how hard or difficult or unlikely is it for the healthy, non infected partner to contract the disease?

(2)  In a lesbian relationship, can hiv be contracted through oral sex, if one partner is infected and the other partner negative?

Again, thank you for responding to my post.  I consider myself knowledgeable and informed about health related issues; however, the internet sometimes provide conflicting information.  I try to depend on very academic resources, like cdc, to answer my questions.  I have found that medhelp provides the extra detail, or example, that ties things together.

1. Only if they share works.
2. Oral sex is not a risk of HIV transmission no matter the sexual orientation of the individuals.
