8 Jul Oral sex has a low HIV risk, but it is not zero. Learn the facts and how to reduce the risk of transmission.

Unprotected anal and vaginal sex leads to far more HIV infections than oral sex. The risks are higher if the person giving oral sex has: cuts, sores or abrasions in their mouth or gums; a sore throat or infection in the mouth or throat. Or if the person receiving oral sex is: HIV positive; has a detectable viral load; has any cuts.
Oral sex (also called fellatio, blow jobs, cunnilingus or giving head) is a low-risk activity for HIV transmission. The type of oral sex and the level of viral load affect how risky it is.

Description:In the absence of those types of cofactors, I think I would agree with what Rick said, that transmission of HIV by receptive fellatio without ejaculation is exceedingly rare. And finally, what advice is most appropriate for care providers and public health officials to communicate to people who have, or are thinking of having, oral sex? I would say extremely low risk. Sure, you can Google the subject, but the results may further confuse and scare you. Having a 1 in 70 chance of transmitting HIV does not mean it takes 70 exposures to the virus in order to seroconvert. You should definitely avoid having oral sex if either of you has sores around your mouth, vagina, penis or anus.
