thank u so much for your info
There is no risk from this.
1). Saliva has lots of enzymes that inhibit HIV.
2) Exposure to oxygen once outside the body makes HIV unable to infect.
3) The kind of cut/bleeding you would have to have in your mouth in order for this to be even a theoretical risk is ridiculously huge! If you had a huge, gaping, actively bleeding wound in your mouth, you would not be engaging in sexual activity. Trust me!
No risk!
hi all,
one last question, if i have fingered a vagina, and there is vagina fluid in my hand, i forgot to wash my hand and i put it in my mouth, what is the risk if there is bleeding in my mouth?
thank you so much for the infomation.
Yes, you can "move on".
I am attaching a quote from Edward W Hook, who is one of the best respected HIV doctors in the world. This was in response to a similar question on this website in Feb 2010. Read it and be confident that you are fine.
"The quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has oral sex with an infected partner is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is too high. Some experts state there is no risk at all from oral sex. Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex.
Just to put this in perspective, even if we go with the most conservative estimates, IF your partner had HIV (which is unlikely) to get HIV you'd need to have receive oral sex once a day for over 27 years. You really do not need to be concerned."
should i move on? been stress with this issue for months.
but i have read through some of the other forum, they say that oral sex have a risk for HIV.
Handjobs and oral sex are not risks for HIV. Have a look through the forum for similar cases and you will see this.
You do not need to be tested.
DR. HANSFIELD
"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD
"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK
"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK
in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
"The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK
