So why doctors are so stubborn about oral sex? Saying oral sex is NOT free of risks for both partners??

Why are them scarying us whit that info?

For example:

http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/Meds/Archive/Misc/Q144306.html

http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/Meds/Archive/Misc/Q180589.html

Is not true there are no evidences of oral infections:

"the New York State AIDS Institute concluded: "The risk for contracting AIDS through oral intercourse is not zero, but is lower than associated with anal or vaginal intercourse." In 1993, an AIDS Institute panel concluded that "the number of documented cases of oral transmission is very small," but "oral-penile sex poses a real risk of HIV transmission, although the risk is far lower than for anal or vaginal sex." Remember that most studies address only homosexual male transmission of HIV"

The Chicago MACS/CCS Cohort (1995), conducted by David G. Ostrow, M.D., Ph.D, used 590 subjects. The conclusion: "Did not support the hypothesis that receptive oral intercourse ... replaced unprotected receptive anal intercourse as important risk behaviors in homosexual transmission of HIV.... None of the intercourse measures except receptive anal intercourse were statistically significant." But even the study's author later suggests, "It may be appropriate to label oral intercourse 'safer' rather than 'safe' in terms of HIV-1 transmission."

I THINK DOCTORS AND EXPERTS ARE CONFUSING!

Whats says the World health org???

Is the risk for both partners?? only for the receptive?? The insertive is safe??

In the event of a risk activity (i know it wasnt my case)

Is a 7 week negative test enough?? I know the window period is 12 weeks, but i have heard that btwn 2 and 4 weeks most people developes antibodies. True??

I have heard too a 7 - 8 week is something about 95% of fiability.. True??

Thanks for the reply.

I know is a low risk activity.. but .. not ZERO risk activity.

In fact it was a blowjob and then the girl rubed my pennis with her vagina  for a few seconds with NO penetration.

Is rubbing a RISK??

Should i forget before my 7 week negative test??

THANKS FOR ANY HELP

CHEERS
