Oral Sex and HIV....What's the risk?

MSM Oral sex without Condoms......what are the chances of HIV infection?? Is it high? What would be symptoms of HIV in someone??

I guess I should elaborate more.....should I be worried about this? Or not?

The risk of HIV transmission from oral sex (mouth-penis or mouth-vagina) would be considered Low risk (with or without a condom being used) which means it is theoretically possible as there is an exchange of body fluids, and there have been case reports of people being infected in that way....however, the VAST MAJORITY of transmissions occur with unprotected penile-vaginal or penile -anal intercourse.

That being said, many things can increase your risk of acquiring HIV through oral sex. Anything that disrupts the mucosal lining of your mouth cavity or esophagus.
- Lesions, ulcers from STIs.
-Burns (even roof of the mouth pizza burns),
-Recent dental work ( I have two clients infected after engaging in oral sex after dental work),
-Acid Reflux can damage the esophagus.

The rule of thumb, wait at least 30minutes to 2 hours after brushing or flossing your teeth before engaging in oral sex, and wait a few days after major dental work.
Oral hygiene is extremely important and it is something that can prevent more than just cavities!

As far as symptoms of HIV in someone......there aren't any that can be used to discern HIV+ from HIV- guys. I always assume that the person I am sleeping with is HIV positive until I find out otherwise (mutual testing).

Hope this helps

I would say if the girl has a disease I would not get oral sex by that girl.So it is a high risk.If you need more info.research about that and see what the scientist say or doctors by talking to them in person.

In that it is passed by bodily fluid, if the disease is present,
don't think it makes much difference as to what is placed
in which if it's unprotected.

well if the male ejaculates in your mouth and is positive and you have an open canker,cold or gum sore then your chances are higher and also if it is the other way around if he has bleeding gums and scrapes your penis with a sharp tooth then you have a higher risk and thats granted one of you are positive so 50 50 and if you have none of the sores but swallow the semen then you have a greater chance so just use commen sense and if you are concerned get tested anyway, symptoms include swollen lymph nodes, and tired feeling often, almost cold or flu like, good luck!

As always, in exchanging bodily fluids with anyone, there is a risk of HIV infection if that person has it. Now, from oral sex...well to be honest, you would have to drink a fair amount of fluids in order for the infection to get past your stomach and digestive acids. HOWEVER, if you have swallowed *** the chances are greater. You have the coated little soldiers to worry about. I would suggest that you get tested every 6 months if you are going to live that lifestyle until you find your ONE partner. That goes for everyone.

Oral sex carries a low risk for HIV contraction. It's up to you to decide how low of a risk is to much for you. Several factors make it more risky such as receiving pre-ejaculation and ejaculation in your mouth, or having any open sores or cuts on your mouth or penis.
The person receiving oral is at less risk (0.5 in 10,000) than the person performing(1 in 10,000) that is if in fact your partner is positive. Get tested at the 3 months. Odds are astronomically in your favor that you are OK.
