What are the chances of my trasmitting HIV to men if I perform oral sex on them?

I understand that the transmission of HIV is through the blood and through seamen. I have HIV, so what are the chances of men getting hiv from me if I perform oral sex on them and also if I allow them to have intercourse with me. If they dont make me bleed can it still go from me to them?

As long as you are careful and use condoms at all times you should be fine. The chance is minimum through oral sex but the other way they could get it if they don't use a condom. Be safe!

This is so evil, putting others are risk with something so serious. Their chances are very high if you decide to do that to them.

You MUST notify your partner of your status and ALWAYS use a condom, otherwise you can be charged with a crime by having sexual intercourse with someone knowing your status and keeping them ignorant to that.

100% if the person you're performing on has an open sore.

100% having intercourse and not using a condom, the virus can be spread through semenial fluid as well as blood borne.

5% if using condom for the oral sex.

Nothing is safe and for sure. Some condoms may have small holes that something could get through.

the chances are very high...its always important you use a condom...whether its oral or anal sex....that way you wont spread hiv to others....

men with hiv can still have sex ...but they have to be safe about it...protection 100% of the time...

they should use condoms when having sex with you. your bodily fluids, such as discharge or anything that would be coming out of your vagina. its not just blood.

I would recommend that you disregard most of, if not all of the previous replies.
The answer is complex as there are a lot of variables that can make HIV transmission more or less likely (i.e. your personal health status, how well-controlled your HIV is, CD4 cell counts, viral load, whether or not you are taking antiretroviral medications, how long you have been positive, [if you are female] where you are in your menstrual cycle when having vaginal sex, and many many more.)

I don't think that your question implies that you will not tell your partner, but obviously you must do so, so that this individual can make an informed decision related to any sexual activities. In SOME states, it is illegal to not disclose your HIV status to sexual partners, but that depends on where you live. Morally and ethically, though, you should always tell partners even if the type of sex you are having is "low risk."

BOTTOM LINE: you should use condoms for oral, vaginal, and anal sex to prevent HIV transmission. There is always a CHANCE of transmitting HIV during sex, in theory even if using condoms. What will change is the relative risk depending on the type of sex, condoms, etc. If you use condoms the risk will be much much lower. I would like to point out that the risk of transmitting HIV is never 100% like some previous posters have written, but you always need to take measures to protect yourself and others.

As far as your particular question:
If you perform oral sex on the man, the risk is relatively low UNLESS he has an open sore on his penis OR you have an open sore in your mouth. Do not brush your teeth or floss prior to performing oral sex as this could create minor cuts in your mouth or breaks in your gum line. Your question doesn't state whether you yourself are male or female, but as far as intercourse goes:
If you are female, HIV can also be spread through vaginal fluids, as well as semen and blood. Again, you should use a condom AND disclose your HIV status. Any sores, cuts, etc. on your or your partners genitals could increase the risk. If you are a female having anal sex or a male having receptive anal sex (bottom), this is higher risk. Bleeding is not an accurate indicator for estimating risk of HIV transmission during sex because vaginal or anal penetration will cause stretching of the walls, and with friction, there will most likely be some kind of bleeding or fluid transmission although you won't necessarily be able to see it.

I hope this is helpful information. It concerns me that this kind of information was not given to you when you received your diagnosis. If you don't already have a doctor, check out www.thebody.com for some HIV specialists in your area. If there aren't any listed, most infectious disease specialists are also well-versed in HIV care. You should be seeing some for healthcare and addressing your concerns on a routine basis.

Take care.
