Oral sex and Aids

Since there is a transference of body fluids during oral sex the Aids virus can be transmitted during this act. Blood, semen, male pre-seminal fluid (cum) and female vaginal fluid could contain the virus and the cells in the mucus membranes in your mouth could allow the virus to enter your body and in this way infect you.

oral sex

The risk of contracting HIV is increased should the skin in your mouth, as well as the mucus membranes, have any lesions, cuts, abrasions, ulcers or cold sores, as the Aids virus can far easier penetrate the cells.

Giving oral sex and transmitting aids

The risk will increase if

  • your partner ejaculates (comes) in your mouth;

  • your partner has another sexually transmitted disease.

Contracting aids from getting a blow job - receiving oral sex

Should you receive a blow job, you can contract the virus should your partner be HIV infected.

If he/she carries the virus, blood from his/her mouth could enter your system (as well as saliva - see kissing and Aids) while having a oral sex through the urethra (opening of your penis), anus or vagina - or - if you have small cuts or open sores present.

Oral sex and aids - protecting yourself

Since the risk of infection does exist in this sexual activity, protect yourself as far as possible, but note, it is not 100% safe, and still carries a certain amount of risk.

  • Male

    • Use a condom and should you be allergic to latex condoms, have a look at polyurethane condoms.

  • Female

    • Use a latex barrier (dental dam or condom cut open and used flat) or plastic food wrap.

Although a lot of people do not like using condoms, either because of personal choice or religious considerations, strong evidence does indicate that it offers some form of protection, although condoms are also not the perfect defense.

Some arguments are offered that the use of condoms promote promiscuity, and although there may be merit in that statement, the flip-side of non-use could lead to even more people contracting HIV.

Questions that you were to afraid to ask

Please remember - if you have any question regarding your health, or are concerned about the possibility of having this disease, please discuss it with your health practitioner.

Laboratory testing is still the preferable way to test for HIV infection, since it is done in a clinical setting, but should you be concerned about your status after reading any of the facts about HIV infection you could look at our Aids home test kit which is a quick "Rapid" type of test to do initial screening and to ascertain the presence of antibodies.
