Question about heterosexual HIV transmission and viral loads?

Does the viral load have anything to do with transmission of the HIV virus? (For instance, does a larger viral load increase the risk of transmission?) Also, I have been looking online and haven't found a proper answer to my next question. Can HIV be tranmitted VIA oral sex? (either way) Is there a chance to get HIV when protection is used properly? (condoms)

Wow.
You guys must be very closed-minded. I am not a virgin, I have two children, and this is just a hypothetical question.

tyhe higher the viral load , the more likely transmission, BUT transmission can still occur with an undetectable viral load.
Undetectable does not mean zero virusses, most PCR tests cannot detect viral loads of less than 25 copies per ml...
If you have sores in your mouth or the mucosa is damaged in another way, there is a theoretical chance of transmission, although the probability would be slim.
If you use proper protection it is possible to minimise your risk of getting HIV, but like with everything in life-there are no guarantees.

Did you have oral sex?

The ONLY way to be safe against STDs is to not have sex. It doesn't matter if you use protection correctly. Abstinance is the only way. You can acquire STDs through bodily fluids of a person who is infected.

Word has it that Condoms Protect, BUT I DON'T TRUST CONDOMS, There are certain ones that only Protect against Pregnancy. But to answer your question HIV/AIDS can be transmitted from one person to another by Oral Sex Annal Sex sharing Needles with Drug Users any contact that produces BLOOD/URINE SE MAN from men and Secretion from Females and Blood transfusion with infected blood. Viral load has nothing to do with anything, If a person is exposed to any person that is HIV POSITIVE then Unless GOD DECIDES TO PROTECT YOU FROM THIS, IT IS LIKELY A PERSON HAS IT AS WELL. KNOW YOUR PARTNER AND PROTECT SELF. AND UNLESS YOU ARE A VIRGIN GET TESTED. KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE.

Theoretically a higher viral load would increase chances of HIV transmission.
