Your being so radical. Unprotected ORAL sex is ZERO risk. ZIPPO. HIV is transmitted through intimate contact of bodily fluids, blood and semen into you system / bloodstreams. Injection drug users are using hollow medical syringes and needles to inject drugs directly into their bloodstream. It is common practice to withdraw a little blood back into the syringe to delay the onset of the high. When needles are passed from users to users and reused some of that blood remains in the syringe. If infected blood in the syringe is passed, the recipient can become infected with HIV. Tattooing is Totally different from injecting drugs. Needles used in tattooing are not hollow. Only YOUR skin that is being pierced during the tattooing process, only YOUR blood is being exposed. You are only at risk of infection from injections if you come in contact with infected blood directly into your bloodstream.

It is Proven that transmission of HIV requires substantial amount of fluid / blood to be passed. Again, you can get HIV from injection of infected blood directly to your bloodstreams / intimate transmission of vaginal fluid / semen. A prick from a pin certainly can't do it.
