Lol Wait I am confused....so you cant get hiv/aids through oral sex, as long as there are no broken skin? Or you can?

From what I have read, you can contract it from performing oral sex on a woman that is infected. There are enough cuts in the gums from brushing and flossing to contract the virus. However, it is more difficult to contract then genital to genital contact, so it is far less likely. Personally I have never used a barrier when performing oral sex on a woman, and have never gotten anything, not that that means anything because my partners were all clean.

Wait what? You dranker her fluids, but you almost drank it? Your afraid your gonna get aids but she doesnt have it...okay so what are you trying to say?

Your afraid you are going to just randomly get aids out of thin air? And did you drink it or did you not?

um....fluid happened because she came. If she doesn't have anything, you didn't get anything. If she has HIV or AIDS, my understanding is that it is transmitted by the exchange of bodily fluid-any bodily fluid, at any orifice of the body.

For God's sake, educate yourself and take cautions BEFORE, not AFTER.

Wait I was under the impression you could not get HIV from swallowing sexual fluid (semen or vaginal juices) unless you had a cut in your mouth.

Let's wait on the medical experts on that one. I was just giving the last info I thought I knew, which was that if bodily fluids change hands, no matter the route, you're exposed. But I certainly don't want to be spreading anything incorrect.

But my issue with self-education BEFOREHAND rather than after the ship has sailed still stands.

Almost all diseases that can be transmitted genitally can also be transmitted orally or with oral-genital contact. You could, for instance, contract gonorrhea or chlamydia through oral contact with her pudenda. Or HIV, if present. If she has no disease, you will contract nothing.

That's what I was thinking. If the 'only with an open sore' theory were true, it would seem to follow that there would have to be an open sore 'there' for it to be transmitted the traditional way.

Thanks for setting us straight, Brandye.

Look, if you can't get HIV/AIDS through fluid on unbroken skin, then it follows that you cannot get it through an unbroken mouth and GI tract. Once it hits the stomach the virus is toast since the acid therein kills it and breaks it down into its chemical constitutents. Now OTHER STDs/STIs you can get in your mouth without any cuts being required. According to the NIH & the CDC.

Vaginal fluids can transmit anything she has BUT if she doesn't have anything, they are perfectly okay to drink, bathe in, gargle with, whatever.

So, just make sure your partners are clean!
*waving my certificate*
Depending upon your level of activity and your 'habits', test every 6 or 12 months. Few partners who themselves have only a few partners (and so on), always using condoms = once every year, for example.
