If the persons viral load is high then so are the chances of you getting  HIV. Now, If the persons viral load is low or undetectable there is less of a chance. I do NOT recommend taking the chance. It's a gamble also make sure this person is telling the truth Anyone can say there undetectable that don't mean it's true. If you want my advice,USE PROTECTION PLEASE

If you are having unprotected sex with a sex partner you should be tested regularly.  sadly we don't know the history of the other, and they may not know if or what they may have if they have been having sex with someone else.\n\nAnd many don't have any signs to let you know.\n\nOf course always having protected sex would take away most of the worry.

if you do not have any open cuts or sores you cannot contract HIV from him just by getting blood on your finger. i know it's scary but you'll be ok, get tested though just for piece of mind. hope that helps :)

No you can't pass on what you don't have.  However if either of you have had sex before each other, It is like sleeping with everyone that your partner has slept with.  Furthermore, it is possible to have a STD without having any obvious signs.\n\nFYI: HPV can be spread even if you use a condom.\nThe only totally safe sex is in a monogamous relationship with someone who won't cheat on you.\n\nWait until you are married and have sex with someone who has waited for you and then both stay faithful to each other for life.  NO More STDs, ever.\n\nAlso there is no prophylactic to protect from the heartache of being sexually active in a temporary relationship.  You are better than that and It will hurt you and your future self esteem and hinder your decision making in choosing a spouse.\n\nDon't make things more complicated than they already are.  You probably have more than enough problems to deal with in your life already.\n\nBy the Way Condoms don't always work.  There are a lot of children walking around who are miraculously here because of a failed condom.  If Condoms can't guarantee to prevent pregnancy,  They can't guarantee protection from AIDS or other STDs.\nHowever Abstinence does Guarantee both of the and protects and preserves your self esteem.\n\nConsider your living chaste while you are single.  You won't be sorry.\nGod Bless You,  ;-)

"Consistent use of condoms provides protection from HIV. The level of protection approximates 87%, with a range depending upon the incidence among condom nonusers. Thus, the condom's efficacy at reducing heterosexual transmission may be comparable to or slightly lower than its effectiveness at preventing pregnancy." \n\n" the chance that HIV will be transmitted during a single unprotected sexual act is much lower -- ranging from 1 chance in 500 for vaginal sex to 3 chances in 100 for anal sex -- than the risk that a single act of unprotected vaginal sex will lead to pregnancy. "\n\nAlso;\n\n"The use of a spermacide can make sex with condoms even safer. Laboratory studies have shown that one spermacide, nonoxynol-9, effectively kills all of the HIV that is present in a condom."

It's not as likely, but yes, 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.\nRead this article: \nhttp://www.cdc.gov/hiv/pubs/faq/faq19.htm

Don't listed to Lita, you can't get HIV from touching someone!  If you used protection it is unlikely that you would get HIV.  I would get tested for everything just to be safe.  If it comes back negative, get tested again in 6 months because sometimes the virus takes time to show up.    Be careful and make sure that you use protection every time!

it is a possibility he can get infected.  We have minute open cracks sometimes on our skin without even realizing it.  If those cracks come in contact with blood or body fluid that is infected with the HIV virus, then there is definitely a possibility of contracting HIV.  If the person that gave the man the oral sex has an open sore or wound that may not be visible, and if the person receiving also has a small open sore or wound that is not visible, then yes it is highly likely that the person can contract HIV.  It is always best to use protection, common sense and to be careful.

HIV is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal secretions...so that means no oral...sorry. Don't think that precautions like "Dental Dams" are worth the risk, they aren't.

If you have *unprotected* sex with someone who has HIV/AIDS, the odds are quite good that you will get it too.\n\nAn hour or so of pleasure isn't worth dying for.

If you are not intimate with this person and you do not do intravenous drugs together, there is no chance that you will get HIV/AIDS from just hanging around. This disease does not pass by casual contact. Please do not reject your friend because he is HIV+. Your fear is irrational.

A girl should not be afraid of catching AIDS or HIV from a bi man who has unprotected sex with other men (or women) if he has tested negative in two separate tests taken at least six months apart and he is completely monogamous. Otherwise, she is taking unnecessary risks.

You never know who has AIDS or some other STD's, so the best thing to do is to use condoms. NEVER have unprotected sex!! Even if the person is young or looks healthy. Be careful!

Any unprotected sex, with our without ejaculation is a risk for an STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) including HIV.\n\nEven without ejaculation, there are pre-ejaculatory fluids that are released and these can carry HIV. \n\nIn short, nearly any bodily fluid has the potential to tranmist HIV. Whether that is sexual or blood borne in origin.\n\nIf you have concerns, there are many available methods to get tested. Even with safe sex, it is wise to get tested if you are sexuallyactive with multiple partners. Often there are confidential free clinics you can go to.

There are conflicting views on the percentage of people who have contracted aids via oral sex. \n\nHaving any kind of sexual relations with someone who is infected with the disease definitely increases the liklihood of contracting it.\n\nUnfortunately, Yahoo restricts what can be said about certain topics and so I can't go in to too much detail. However, the sites listed below offer good guidelines and advice. \n\nThe bottomline, it is better to be safe than sorry, so use protection, especially if you don't know much about your partner's sexual history.
