Can a male though homosexual oral sex get HIV/AIDS from his partner if the semen is injested?

I'm not sure about the ingestion of semen as a way to get infected with the virus, however, I find it highly unlikely as HIV is such a fragile virus. I don't believe that the virus could withstand the attack from the gastric juices in the stomach. \n\nHowever, letting you partner ejaculate in you mouth is not a good idea as you may have cuts or scrapes that you don't know about. This is probably the most likely way that you would get the virus from oral sex. Always take precautions when you have sex with anyone, whether it's with a long term partner or with a one-night stand. The HIV virus can remained undetected for a long time in the body (up to six months) and this poses a risk because you can come up with false negative test results and engage in risky behavior. I cannot reiterate enough---ALWAYS use protection when having sex. \n\nBe safe!

I would assume not.  If you cannot catch it from the following ways, I would guess a cigarette is not much different:\n\nThere is no evidence that HIV can be spread through the following: kissing; SHARING FOOD UTENSILS, towels or bedding; swimming in pools; using toilet seats; using telephones; or having mosquito or other insect bites.   http://www.intelihealth.com/ih/ihtih/wsi...\n\nAND:\n\nYou cannot contract AIDS from: beds, breathing, chewing pencils, clothing, combs or hairbrushes, coughing or sneezing, drinking fountains, door knobs, gum, hot tubs, hugging, kissing, nail files, shaking hands, sharing food or drinks, silverware, sitting in the same classroom, swimming pools, tears, telephones, toilet seats, touching \ntowels \nhttp://www.caps.ucsf.edu/capsweb/curricu...

Anal sex  still has the highest probability of transmitting aids and your chances are 100% if you  have this type of sex with an infected partner.  Vaginal sex would come in second and is also a one shot deal if your are engaging in the behavior unprotected with an infected partner.  Oral sex is not much better.  Just be careful who you choose to share your body with and don't be afraid to require they get tested for HIV and show you proof before you engage in any type of sexual act.  A partner who is put offf by that kind of request in this day and age is not a partner you should want to be with in the first place.

Can I get HIV from kissing?\n\nOn the Cheek:\n\nHIV is not transmitted casually, so kissing on the cheek is very safe. Even if the other person has the virus, your unbroken skin is a good barrier. No one has become infected from such ordinary social contact as dry kisses, hugs, and handshakes.\n\nOpen-Mouth Kissing:\n\nOpen-mouth kissing is considered a very low-risk activity for the transmission of HIV. However, prolonged open-mouth kissing could damage the mouth or lips and allow HIV to pass from an infected person to a partner and then enter the body through cuts or sores in the mouth. Because of this possible risk, the CDC recommends against open-mouth kissing with an infected partner.\n\nOne case suggests that a woman became infected with HIV from her sex partner through exposure to contaminated blood during open-mouth kissing.\n\nFor more information refer to the July 11, 1997, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report “Transmission of HIV Possibly Associated with Exposure of Mucous Membrane to Contaminated Blood” located at ftp://ftp.cdc.gov/pub/Publications/mmwr/wk/mm4627.pdf.\n\nCan I get HIV from oral sex?\n\nYes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV. While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex.\n\nIf the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through\n\n    * the lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis);\n    * the lining of the vagina or cervix;\n    * the lining of the anus; or\n    * directly into the body through small cuts or open sores. \n\nIf the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. Cells lining the mouth of the person performing oral sex may allow HIV to enter their body.\n\nThe risk of HIV transmission increases\n\n    * if the person performing oral sex has cuts or sores around or in their mouth or throat;\n    * if the person receiving oral sex ejaculates in the mouth of the person performing oral sex; or\n    * if the person receiving oral sex has another sexually transmitted disease (STD). \n\nNot having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV.\n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex, and your partner is male,\n\n    * use a latex condom on the penis; or\n    * if you or your partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms can be used. \n\nStudies have shown that latex condoms are very effective, though not perfect, in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly and consistently. If either partner is allergic to latex, plastic (polyurethane) condoms for either the male or female can be used. For more information about latex condoms, see "Male Latex Condoms and Sexually Transmitted Diseases."\n\nIf you choose to have oral sex, and your partner is female,\n\n    * use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the vagina. A latex barrier such as a dental dam reduces the risk of blood or vaginal fluids entering your mouth. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier. \n\nIf you choose to perform oral sex with either a male or female partner and this sex includes oral contact with your partners anus (analingus or rimming),\n\n    * use a latex barrier (such as a natural rubber latex sheet, a dental dam or a cut-open condom that makes a square) between your mouth and the anus. Plastic food wrap also can be used as a barrier.\n\nIf you choose to share sex toys with your partner, such as dildos or vibrators,\n\n    * each partner should use a new condom on the sex toy; and\n    * be sure to clean sex toys between each use.\n\nIf you

The only way that you can contract the AIDS virus is if you come into comtact with Blood, Urine, Semen, or vaginal fluids of an infected person. Saliva does not have the concentration that is high enough for you to get it from kissing on the mouth.

Yes. Any exchange of bodily fluids CAN result in the transmission of HIV or AIDS, although the risk is smaller when it is oral. \n\n"HIV is found in varying concentrations or amounts in blood, semen, vaginal fluid, breast milk, saliva, and tears. "\n- http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/facts/transmission.htm\n\n"The risk of HIV transmission from an infected partner through oral sex is much smaller than the risk of HIV transmission from anal or vaginal sex. Because of this, measuring the exact risk of HIV transmission as a result of oral sex is very difficult."\n-http://www.avert.org/orlsx.htm#q3

NO!HIV is not transmitted through the saliva but if the tongue has a cut or sore then there is possibility of infection

Any sexual contact, including oral, can transmit STDs. If he was to have AIDS or HIV, whether he got it through sexual contact or somehow else, he could transmit it through blood-vaginal fluids contact. Let's say if he had a cut in his mouth or tongue and made contact with your vagina, he could transmit it. It's not very likely, but it could happen.

Very high. But it depends if the male has intercourse with that female. Otherwise there is no chance of contraction of HIV.\n\nHIV spreads through exchange of bodily fluids (Blood and Semen). You need to refer some material on the net. You can search in the WHO and Wikipedia websites for more information.

Open mouth kissing with a person who is HIV+ with open sores is not a 100% safe activity as HIV is transmitted by blood, semen and vaginal fluids. Although it is unlikely that you would get HIV this way, you do not want to take the risk. HIV does not live well in saliva, but blood sometimes found in saliva contains the virus when the person is infected. Many times people have small cuts and scrapes in their mouth that they are not even aware of and the possibility exists that the infected person's blood from the sores could enter the uninfected person's body through these cuts. If enough blood enters the person's body through a cut or scrape, the person could become infected with HIV. This is very unlikely and there are no such documented cases of HIV being transmitted this way.\n\nIt's not a good idea to kiss anyone that has a sore in his or her mouth. A sore in the mouth is a sign of a virus, infection or a cold. You do not want to expose yourself to any illnesses. Being sick is no fun!\n\nIf you or your partner have any concerns about your sexual health or sexually transmitted diseases and live in Northern New Jersey, please contact the Young/Adult Center for Health at (973) 971.5199. If you live outside of Northern New Jersey, please call your local teen health center. These centers can see you confidentially and on a reduced cost or no cost basis.\n\nTry to keep your self healthy!

It is not a forgone conclusion that oral sex does NOT transmit AIDS.\n\nOral sex is a lower risk behavior, but any sexual behavior carries some risk.\n\nTake precautions in this area most especially if you don't know the status of the person you are having sex with.

Sorry to tell you, but going oral w/o a latex condom puts you at risk of contracting HIV, specially if you are in the receptive [sucking] position. You may have microscopic lacerations in your mouth that you may not be aware of, and since HIV is abundant in semen, the virus will get into your system through any oral laceration or scrape, no matter how minute. On the other way around, if you are the one being fellated, HIV is present in saliva, too [though in smaller concentrations than it is in semen or blood]. Any irritation, scrape or laceration [even if not visually detectable] that may be present in the penis is an open door for the virus to enter. So, to minimize the risk of contracting HIV, NEVER, ever have any kind of sexual contact w/o using a latex condom. Good luck, and take proper measures when having sex of any kind.

First of all, you can't get AIDS... you can get HIV, which destroys your immune system over time and once that immune system is obliterated you are now considered AIDS positive. So, to answer your politically correct question: You CANNOT get HIV by kissing, transfering saliva, etc. You can get it by sharing needles during drug use, etc., having unprotected and sometimes even protected sex, crossing blood with an HIV+.

because gays have anal sex and to be blunt, that area tears easily, giving infected fluids an entrance into your body .\n\n  How is HIV Transmitted?    \n\nHIV can be transmitted from an infected person to another through:\n\nBlood (including menstrual blood) \nSemen \nVaginal secretions \nBreast milk \nBlood contains the highest concentration of the virus, followed by semen, followed by vaginal fluids, followed by breast milk.\n\n* Activities That Allow HIV Transmission\n\nUnprotected sexual contact \nDirect blood contact, including injection drug needles, blood transfusions, accidents in health care settings or certain blood products \nMother to baby (before or during birth, or through breast milk) \nSexual intercourse (vaginal and anal): In the genitals and the rectum, HIV may infect the mucous membranes directly or enter through cuts and sores caused during intercourse (many of which would be unnoticed). Vaginal and anal intercourse is a high-risk practice.\n\nOral sex (mouth-penis, mouth-vagina): The mouth is an inhospitable environment for HIV (in semen, vaginal fluid or blood), meaning the risk of HIV transmission through the throat, gums, and oral membranes is lower than through vaginal or anal membranes. There are however, documented cases where HIV was transmitted orally, so we can't say that getting HIV-infected semen, vaginal fluid or blood in the mouth is without risk. However, oral sex is considered a low risk practice.\n\nSharing injection needles: An injection needle can pass blood directly from one person's bloodstream to another. It is a very efficient way to transmit a blood-borne virus. Sharing needles is considered a high-risk practice.\n\nMother to Child: It is possible for an HIV-infected mother to pass the virus directly before or during birth, or through breast milk. Breast milk contains HIV, and while small amounts of breast milk do not pose significant threat of infection to adults, it is a viable means of transmission to infants.\n\nThe following "bodily fluids" are NOT infectious:\n\nSaliva \nTears \nSweat \nFeces \nUrine

Straight people get AIDS too, that's very stereo typical.  I can't believe that you said that!  Well, no, you can't get AIDS/HIV from saliva.  You can only get it from sexual fluids, blood (transfusions/"blood brothers," etc...) and if you are pregnant and have AIDS, you can give it to your child upon birth.

No u cannot get it.HIV is transmitted ,\n1.f a person engages in sexual intercourse with an infected person without using a condom, s/he can get infected. The sexual act can be both vaginal and anal.Theoretically oral sex without condom (on men) or barriers like dental dam, vaginal dams or plastic wrap (on women) can also transmit the infection.\n2.If a person shares the needle or syringe used by/on an infected person, either for injecting drugs or drawing blood or for any other purpose involving piercing, s/he can get infected. Instruments used for piercing and tattooing also carry a small risk of infection.\n3.A person can get the infection, if he/she is given transfusion of infected blood.\n4.If surgical devices like syringes and scalpels, or even certain instruments, used on an infected person, are used on another person without proper sterilization, they can transmit the infection.\n5.An HIV positive mother can transmit the virus to child during pregnancy or birth. Breast milk can also act as a transmission-medium.\neven if it has blood on it,HIV cannot survive when exposed to open air.\nNever mess with HIV,stay safe.Also,please devolp some knowledge on HIV/AIDS,u sound ignorant,like some guy who just came from the remotest jungles of Africa.
