Do Blow----------job( to protect from cencor ) lead to HIV ? I heard that HIV cannot live in saliva?

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.

You need to ask your doctor this question!! I'm not really sure...but as far as I know, you can't get HIV from saliva!

If the cut or laceration has exposed blood (bodily fluid) on both folks, it is possible to transmit HIV (the virus that can lead to AIDS if unchecked). However, it is more likely to transmit hepatitis. HIV is a very fragile virus that dies in contact with the air once outside the body. However, if the fluids exchange in very intimate contact where air is not present (pressing lips and rubbing frantically will do it), the chances for infection increase. There is no current evidence (in the 20 plus years we have been studying the disease transmission modes) that saliva transmits enough of the viable virus to cause infection.

The body fluids that contain the HIV virus are Semen, Vaginal fluid, blood, breast milk and now they have added the organs of an infected person. \nHIV can be spread both ways, cuts or damage to tissue opens up another way for the virus to get into the body, but sperm alone also does it. \nWe don't have the exact numbers but it is more lickly that a man will infect a woman because she is accepting his sperm into her body, and it stays in her body even after he has pulled out so the exposure time is longer.\nAnd its very safe to spread the word on using comdoms, a whole lot safer then not using them and a lot more realistic then telling people to wait until marriage. \nA condom is not 100% protective and personally I haven't heard an exact % but have always been told that it GREATLY reduces the risk. The reason you can't really put a % on it is because it comes down to human error. Condoms have to be stored in the right locations, not too not not too cold, not under a light or in the sun, not in a wallet...there are a lot of factors that go into it. And they must be used the correct way for each sex ACT, or*al and an*ul as well. \nSo the correct message is not just to use protection but we have to tell them and show them HOW to use it. We also have to remember that HIV is not just spread through sex but also sharing drug needles/works and the other risk behaviors.\nBecause its NOT WHO YOU ARE its WHAT you DO that puts you at risk for HIV!

Is there a possibility during a gynecologic surgical procedure? Sure, needle sticks are something concerns most healthcare professionals. If HIV infected material (for example if a patient is bleeding during a vaginal delivery or any gynecologic procedure) is splashed into the mucous membranes of the doctors eye for example, leads to the possibility of infection. This route isn't a major avenue for HIV infection overall, but the possibility exists, and is more than enough reason to wear eye protection and double glove when working around HIV and Hep C patients, no matter what department you are in.\n\nFrom regular pelvic exams, probably not a very high possibility. \n\nIf your question is should you be afraid of your gynecologist, I would say definitely NO. Most doctors are very cautious.\n\nMaybe you should check out the Centers for Disease Control website for better information:\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/pdf/bbp/Exp_to_Blood.pdf

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

As others have said, HIV/AIDS is contracted through an exchange of bodily fluids...so, a person with HIV/AIDS would have to have their blood, saliva, breast milk, vaginal fluids, semen, etc. enter the bloodstream of another person or enter their system through an orifice, through a wound that leads to the blood stream, through a tear duct, etc. \n\nDepth isn't so much an issue as is the question of whether the infected person is bleeding or leaking a bodily fluid, and where that fluid comes into contact with another. \n\nIf you are worried about a specific incident, I suggest visiting the website for the "Center for Disease Control," or "The National AIDS Fund," or speaking with your health care provider or a member of your local HIV/AIDS testing agency.

Yes. A new approach to fighting the virus by stopping it from infecting cells. The medical professionals call the new drugs entry inhibitors. I call it slowing the immune response. It can be done with peppermint oil lozenges. This could help third world countries. Perhaps the caring medical professionals would like to do a study to prove it can work against HIV.\n Ask any medical professional you know if they would like to help in the study.

An@l, Vaginal and/or Oral Sex can cause a person to be infected with the HIV virus.  In addition you may be infected with a large number of other Sexually Transmitted Diseases.\n\nI have included information from a web page of the Center for Disease Control.\n\n"Can I get HIV from anal sex?\n\nYes. In fact, unprotected (without a condom) anal sex (intercourse) is considered to be very risky behavior. It is possible for either sex partner to become infected with HIV during anal sex. HIV can be found in the blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid of a person infected with the virus. In general, the person receiving the semen is at greater risk of getting HIV because the lining of the rectum is thin and may allow the virus to enter the body during anal sex. However, a person who inserts his penis into an infected partner also is at risk because HIV can enter through the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis) or through small cuts, abrasions, or open sores on the penis.\n\nNot having (abstaining from) sex is the most effective way to avoid HIV. If people choose to have anal sex, they should use a latex condom. Most of the time, condoms work well. However, condoms are more likely to break during anal sex than during vaginal sex. Thus, even with a condom, anal sex can be risky. A person should use generous amounts of water-based lubricant in addition to the condom to reduce the chances of the condom breaking."

It is possible to transmit AIDS by saliva but not very often.  It's more often transmitted by blood or sexually.  AIDS is an STD.  People often transmit it by using already used needles.  It's more likely to be transmitted by kissing if you have an open wound in your mouth, like a cut on your lip.

No, mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS. This is because in order for it to transfer, it would have to stay alive inside the mosquito, but it's block by it's salivary glands, so it's like, killed. This is the way for them to survive. Any mosquito that sucks an HIV positive blood, would completely kill the virus so it doesn't harm themselves. Learned this today in Science! I'm so proud I learned something!

Okay...gay people aren't "prone" to AIDS.\n\nAIDS is passed through the exchange of bodily fluids.\n\nIt is very common to exchange bodily fluids during ana1 sex, as this often involves tearing of the tissues.  Therefore, ana1 sex is considered high-risk (along with sharing needles and such).\n\nHomosexuals do not necessarily have more partners than do heterosexuals (in fact studies show quite the opposite).

-if the AIDS person does not brush much, or their meds effect their gums, they could have soft gums and bleed into their toothbrush.\n-if you and said person did not rinse same toothbrush adequatly.\n-if toothpaste itself was not used by you.\nit's a lot of if's...\nprobably the same risk as french kissing someone with AIDS.\ni would not obsess over the possibility, but just to be 100% sure;\nthere is a cheap new Oral AIDS test called OraQuick from OraSure with a less than 1% false positive rate provided by most clinics/hospitals now.  contact one first to determine how long after possible exposure you should get tested.\nbut again, this is all Very Very Remotely possible.

Yes, there are risks involved, as with any sexual act where blood, semen, or vaginal secretions have the potential to enter your bloodstream.  Everyone has minute fisures on their gums where there can be transferrance of these fluids into your blood stream.  Oral sex is considered to have a much lower risk factor than vaginal or anal sex without protection.  If you want to lessen this risk, don't brush your teeth for at least six hours prior to doing this act.  But don't bet on getting a second date...\n\nI'm sure that many will find this hard to believe (see supporting documentation below) but your risk lessens if you swallow quickly rather than letting it remain in your mouth or spitting it out where it passes past your gums again.

The ******** word, i will take it like Ora l Se x, if its the word there is more risk for the girl, or for who give the fellation, than who recive the fellation. In other word she have to had blood in its mouth for transsmited u the diseaes.\n\nThe or al se x is the lowest risk action u can make, but still there be some risk, risk is not 0, remember,there are other STDs can be transmited by ora l se x, maybe HIV not,but there are a lot more.\n\n=====================\n\nThis is a good word from the specialist:\n\nLet's start off with the good news . . . nobody has ever been infected with HIV by receiving oral sex (exposure to saliva). Not a single reported case worldwide!, but, dont become thr first one, use condom\n\n===============================\n\nIn the other hand, lets see whats happend:\n\nHowever, it's time to face the truth when it comes to HIV and giving oral sex (exposure to pre-cum and semen). Yes, you can get HIV this way. There have already been cases reported of people becoming infected specifically through giving oral sex to a man. I personally know several gay men who became infected this way. They never had anal sex, never did drugs and never had a blood transfusion. But they did have guys' cum in their mouths. It's been known for quite some time that you can also get other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) like gonorrhea, or syphillis by giving oral sex. So giving a guy a blow-job is risky for HIV and other STDs. This is a proven fact.

Kissing\n\nCasual contact through closed-mouth or "social" kissing is not a risk for transmission of HIV. Because of the potential for contact with blood during "French" or open-mouth kissing, CDC recommends against engaging in this activity with a person known to be infected. However, the risk of acquiring HIV during open-mouth kissing is believed to be very low. CDC has investigated only one case of HIV infection that may be attributed to contact with blood during open-mouth kissing.

I seriously doubt it.  I guess, most of these people don't understand that if it was that easily spread, almost everyone would have it by now.  Kissing will NOT spread it...oral sex is said to have an EXTREMELY low chance because there are not any documented cases that it has been spread in this way.  Oral sex is more likely to spread other STDs...such as herpes.\n\nIf you've let a guy who is HIV positive go down on you, relax.  I don't think you've contracted it this way.  Go ahead and get checked if you are worried, though.  You should be checked regularly, anyway.\n\nBy the way, its not just plain *ucking stupid to even let him.  Remember, most of the people who answer questions on this site aren't the brightest people around.
