So you want to get down and dirty with some backdoor action but aren't sure about the risks? While anal sex is still considered to be an exotic and taboo sexual activity, for many couples, it is also considered to be a safer alternative to traditional vaginal sex. Is this assumption correct? Let's look at some of the risks associated with anal sex.
The following health risks can affect heterosexual or homosexual couples:
a HIV/AIDS - Studies show that HIV can be transmitted anally more than any other sexual act, especially for the receiving partner.
a HPV (Human papilloma virus) - These anal warts are not only painful and a nuisance, but can increase chances of anal cancer.
a Hepatitis A - Oral/anal contact can spread this viral infection. Jaundice and stomach pain may follow.
a Hepatitis C - It's rare that this can result from anal sex, but it's possible, and could lead to fatal liver disease.
a E. Coli: Oral/anal contact can spread this infection which can cause gastroenteritis and a serious kidney infection.
a Pregnancy - This won't happen with a homosexual couple, obviously, and it is extremely rare that semen will drip into the vagina far enough to cause a pregnancyabut better safe than sorry!
Here are some ways you can enjoy anal sex while reducing risk of disease or pregnancy:
a Always use a condom, even if you're in a monogamous relationship. Certain infections (like from E. Coli) have nothing to do with exclusivity, but rather with germs. Using lots of water-based lube with help prevent condom breakage.
a Cleanliness is key. Clean the anal area and make sure you empty your bowel before engaging in anal sex.
a The one receiving the penetration should make sure that he or she is relaxed. If you tense up, you could tear your sphincter musclesaOUCH!
a Start off slow, by inserting a lubed up finger or two first, before going all the way with your penis.
Most importantly, make sure you're both ready to embark on this sexually-charged, over the edge, primal act. Be safe and have fun!

My buddy got a stripper to do me for my birthday!! Chances of STD risk–IF IM RECIEVING UNPROTECTED ORAL SEX!
I just turned 18 and as a birthday “gift” one of my buddies “convinced” for a stripper to have sex with me (kinda weird I know). Normally I would of obviously said NO WAY!!!….but she is SOOOO FINE!!!!…..Looks like Jenna Jameson’s younger sister or something—-DAMN!!–I normally would NEVER be able to get something like this babe.
Anyways….IF I decide to do it…Im gonna obviously use protection…..but I dont know if I would if she gave me oral sex (which she probably will). So…..
If a guy is recieving UNPROTECTED oral sex from a female what is the risk of catching an INCURABLE STD? Emphasizing I said INCURABLE. And what dieseases as well–(I know its rare to get HIV through it but thats all i know)–give me everything you know about.
Also, if anyone knows more details (statistics) or knows of a reliable site for this please let me know.
Please just answer the questions asked (about STDs)….dont judge the “morality” of my decision. Thanks!!
Herpes if she has cold sores – sometimes they are IN her mouth – so it’d be hard to just look at her & know….
HIV is unlikely – unless you have sores or cuts on your penis
I have unprotected oral sex with a girl i met in mexico who was from the uk.am i at risk of getting something?
We used a condom when we had sex, but then we took it off when she was performing oral on me. i also beleive i rubbed my penis on or around her vagina area without a condom. Once i got back i about 3 days after my throat has been killing. feels like there is a porcupine stuck inside my throat. i dont have a cold or a flue As well i feel as if my body is acting weird, my Man area doesnt seem right.

hi,
I am 32 . I had usafe oral vaginal and oral anal sex with a women 5 weeks ago( no sexual intercourse. She didn’t secret any fluid and no blood and there was no sore or cuts in my mouth.
I am scared of HIV, I can’t sleep at night . its 4 am here .
M y mouth and tounge is burning from last 3 weeks ( i don’t know if BMS can be a early hiv symptom). I don’t have any swollen lymph node and no fever. Both sid eof my tongue is bumby ( i have really never looked at my tongue before so i don’t know if its normal)
Please help me on few question.
1) is burning on tongue a Hiv symptom?
2) is bumpy side tongue normal?
3)What is the risk of HIV via oral sex?
4)Can it be other STD?
Thanks in advance
thanks for quick reply.
I had this episode with prostitue and i was drunked. I am quite releved but i will still go for a test.
You are overreacting. Please consider the followings and you will go to sleep after that
1) Symptoms are never indicators for HIV infection as the symptoms are not HIV specific. Most people do not even have symptoms when they are infected. To summarize, symptoms mean nothing. They are most likely related to other medical conditions or in your case could be very well due to anxiety.
2) The chances of contracting HIV from a single episode of unprotected oral sex is estimated around 1 in 10,000. Some professionals even believe it is no risk. We are going to be conservative and saying 1 in 10000, which is very very low.
3) You do not know if your partner was infected or not. Most people ARE NOT, specially if you live in industrialized countries.
4) For other STDs, it is possible to get them from oral sex but the risk is still very low. oral sex is not the best way to transmit STDs. I would check for STDs to make sure. But I think your concern is more about HIV.
Put them together, you have very little to be worried about HIV. Go back to sleep, test around 6-8 weeks after exposure and then confirm it with a 3 months conclusive test. It will be negative.
Scared to death of Hiv, can you get this from oral sex even though he didn “cum” in your mouth? risk lower?
was someone i was dating for 4mths, never had unprotected vaginal sex. last encounter oct.25th , will be getting tested in Jan, just cant get this off my mind. as far as i know he’s negative tested over the summer and gave blood sept.25th (him) ,no cuts in my mouth, lots of info on here is confusing trying to get a good answer. I test regularly last on oct.31
Don’t even worry. There really is no risk for HIV, there could be a STD risk but not HIV. You’re timing for testing is great and you should be safe.
Confused about oral sex and transmission?
Latey on the dating scene I have hear and read oral sex is safer, and very low risk of HIV or AIDS, I even heard there are no reported cases of HIV from oral sex, I am confused, my doctor said “There is very very little risk, but it may be possible” then I read saliva kills all possible chances. Anyone have a real answer that that can clear this up?
Oral sex is considered an extremely low risk activity, in general an with HIV in particular. HIV virus is found in saliva but in such small amounts that it is not a factor. HIV virus is found in blood, vaginal secretions and penile secretions, in regards to sexual activity. And, one of those fluids would have to come into contact with the other person’s blood or genital secretions. So, with oral sex both partner would have to have some blood present in their mouth and a pathway such as a cut or sore in the mouth for the virus to enter into the bloodstream.
Ways to make oral sex safer sex include:
1. A barrier Method—Using dental dams, condoms, or cutting a condom length-wise to make a homemade dental dam.
2. Don’t receive oral sex from a partner with any sores, bumps or cuts in their mouth, lips, oral area.
3. Don’t perform oral sex on your partner if you have any oral cuts, sores or bumps.
4. Don’t brush or floss your teeth for several hours before and several hours after oral sex.

This may be a no shit question. But can you contract ALL types of STDs and HIV through oral sex?
By the way don’t say yeah! herpes. just cause that makes sense. because if you didn’t know that genital herpes and mouth herpes are two completely separate viruses then you need to navigate away from this question because I can say already you don’t know the answer.
What am I exactly at risk for when during oral sex?
I don’t think she really meant having a baby is a horrible thing. It’s just not o much a great thing to bring a child into the world as an accident. It’s still beautiful. But there is a time and place for everything and being so careless with something so serious is a bad thing. I certainly wouldn’t want my child to technically feel like an accident the rest of his or her life. She was just telling me to be careful that’s all.
Do you believe that there is a link between oral sex and throat cancer?
This is of course according to Research coming from John Hopkins University…not just rumors…where they say a link has been established between oral sex and the human papillomavirus (HPV) the same virus that causes cervical cancer and throat cancer. That adds to the roster of risks already tied to oral sex: herpes, syphillis, gonorrhea, and HIV.
I am just doing a public service announcement…I’m married and I’ve already had Cancer three times….it will NOT change my martial habits.
.When you consider where it’s been and what’s it’s done during it’s sexually active lifetime, it would not surprise me.It may be a fact that some people will find hard to swallow.
Can you catch HIV from receiving oral sex?
Please, be mature and answer seriously.
My situation is that I recently engaged in oral sex. I had met up with a guy and I had asked him if he was Drugs and Disease free, and he told me he was. I met up with him and he sucked me off without a condom and I had ejaculated in his mouth. I was without a worry since he told me he was clean. After I did some research I found out that you can catch HIV from receiving oral. So being the paranoid person that I am asked him when was the last time he got tested and he told me he got tested a year ago. He told me he doesn’t have sex often and when he does he does it with people he’s known for years. Bottom line is, am I at a great risk of catching HIV from receiving oral sex?
Additional information is I didn’t see any visible blood, and I’m uncut.
Yes, you can catch HIV from receiving oral sex. Protect yourself before it happens!
i received oral sex from a transsexual am i at high risk or is she is for hiv?
i don’t have HIv but she looked the tip of my penis and i pre-came in her mouth am i at risk for hiv or she is. i was the Receiver and she was the giver?
The risk of very low for the oral catcher and just about non-existent for the pitcher.
What are the chances of getting an std/hiv from ingesting semen from someone?
I was forced to perform oral sex. I won’t give any details other than he ejaculated straight into my stomach (he pushed his penis straight into my throat) so I didn’t even know he ejaculated. I’m worried about the potential HIV transmission. Is there any risk of getting an std from him?
I said what are the chances, not “is there a risk?”
There are some risks with this type of exposure.Especially if you had a cut, burn, dental problem or a sore throat at the time. In the stomach it is unlikely that the virus could survive the acidic digestive fluids there. If you are younger and the other guy was too it is less likely that he was a carrier of HIV but could have something else. An std or even a yeast infection. You should go get tested and see what the test reveals. then act on it. You can hit me up on answers if you want to know more my address is there. I work in the HIV/ STD field . Good luck
Can my GF get HIV from me giving me oral sex?
I am HIV POSATIVE, on meds and healthy. My Viral Load is undetectable. My girlfriend wants to give me oral sex and insists on doing it to completion without a condom. She also wants to have intercourse without a condom. What are the realistic chances of the HIV being transmitted given I have an undetectable Viral Load? I want to know that actual risks involved. I love her and want to protect her but i also want to abide by her wishes. I need some real answers.
you got points from me for wanting to protect your girlfriend but lost them when you said you wanted to abide by her wishes. this is very irresponsible.
i think you should both look up HIV transmission on the net.
i reckon the risks could be too high – she could well be lucky but on the other hand who knows. better to be safe than sorry.
in some places it is an offence to knowingly infect another with HIV and you could well fit into this category if she did get it.
i wish you both well and trust you will do the right thing.
What STDs can you get from giving oral sex without ejaculation?
If you start to give a guy oral sex but stop before he ejaculates or even pre-cums are you at risk for any STDs? I’ve read that the risk of HIV is basically zero in that situation, but are there any other diseases you can contract that way?
Some stds like herpes can HPV can be passed through skin contact during oral sex or sexual activity. Even if he doesn’t ejaculate there is still precome which can carry stds like chlamydia and gonorrhea. You’re more likely to get an std by receiving it but you can get an std from giving oral sex too. If your partner has an std genitally, he could pass it to your mouth or throat. If he had some thing in or on his mouth he could pass it to your genitals if he gave you oral sex.
What are the chances or what is the risk of getting a Std or HIV from having unprotected oral sex.?
A few weeks ago I met the girl and she seem very nice and “trusty”, well one time we were dinking and one thing let to another and we had sex. Although I used a condom during intercource I’m worry because she gave me oral sex, I I didn’t use any thing, now I found out she is a ho, and I just wanted to know if the risk of getting a Std or HIV is the same from having oral sex or intercouce, please if you know tell me.
Your chances are almost non existing. Your biggest risk would have been not using a condom for intercourse, and you did use one, that was the best thing you could have done.
As far as her giving you oral, she would have been at a greater risk of getting something from you, than you from her. So don’t worry!
How risky for HIV is oral sex?
I received oral sex from a guy on February 22. there was no other form of sex performed. and i did not give him oral sex either. he didnt look to be bleeding from his mouth and seemed to have good oral hygiene. the guy said he had an STD screening already and had not been with anyone since then. He even showed me his paperwork where it showed he was HIV negative. I started worrying recently so I went to the clinic and got tested for HIV on April 26 (which is exactly 9 weeks and 2 days from the sex). I called the clinic before going and asked how long should i wait before taking the test, they told me at least 6 weeks after the sex. so i decided i should go. the test was negative and syphillis was negative. Im worried because i cant wait till the 3 months to get tested again let alone 6 months, how much risk am i of being infected???
Hiv risk from the encounter described below, need professional advice?
Dear friends , I don’t know how can I ask you a question about my case so I’m posting this here. I’ve never had unprotected sex with anyone except my current gf which has only been with one guy before, for 6 years and they were both virgin when they started having sex. I’m concerned about my past with one girl which I met around 5-6 times and we had protected vaginal but unprotected oral sex in the few occasions. I feel really dumb and stupid and regretful for having that done. So oral sex was both ways, giving And receiving. Always protected vaginal. Condoms never broke and no anal at all. The girl tested negative twice for HIV but I’m concerned just in case she was on the window period. I’ve been really stressed and anxious lately. Its been more than six months since then. I testes negative for HIV twice with oral HIV testing (oraquick). I’m really concerned if oral HIV testing is as accurate as blood testing? I wanna know if further testing is needed? I find it hard to sleep and would look in the mirror at myself and blame me for having been stupid in the past. I look at my skin and even a lil pimple on my back worries me. My gf says I get them because of sweating. I got some flu like symptoms 2 months after I was with that girl which was older than me 15 years. I’m just 22. So I tested negative after 3 months as I said. Am I clear? Do I news to test for HIV or any other stds again? I’m looking forward to your answer. May God bless you. With respect.
You’re stressing over nothing. Your exposure was nil, anyway, and you’ve both been tested on top of that. You are clear. Stop worrying.
chances of contracting HIV from protected sex?!?
I’m really worried about my last sexual encounter.Firstly I wanna let any reader know the level of my protection. I’m 20 years old(male) and since I started having sex the first time, it has been almost 2 years now and I always use protection when having sex (oral,vaginal and anal).since anal is high risk I try not to do it that much.I’ve been tested 3 times now, 2 times with hiv rapid test(blood) and once with the ELISA. So far my results were negative in all three cases. the first test was 1 month after sexual encounter, the second one was 3 months after and the third one was 3 months after my last sexual encounter. I live in south eastern europe but during the summer I was in united states for travel.In texas I met this girl in a club and one thing lead 2 another,we ended up having sex in the car.I had a condom on for both oral and vaginal.2-3 days after having sex I had diarrhea for 2 days after moving from texas to florida. then I was fine.now I’m back home in europe and the first 3-4 days I was ok, now all of a suden I had fever and diarrhea.fever was gone in a day diarrhea it has been 2 days now I have it. Its not that frequent (once or twice a day) but still I’m concerned and I’m really anxious and scared.when it comes to getting tested I’m really sad and worried and freaked out.I dont get enough sleep and I have a fast heartbeat
P.S.note that everytime I’ve used protection, none of my condoms broke and I even tested them with water after intercourse, none of them leaked.
can someone tell me if the is even a slight chance of me being infected with the deadly virus.
I’d appreciate any polite and reasonable answer (please dont answer if u wanna joke around) thnx beforehand.
You should contact your local public health officials and ask where you can learn about HIV/STI transmission…..the facts. Most people think HIV transmission is super-easy, and the truth is it’s not
It seems that you are quite anxious about this and I have seen that often turn into a compulsive anxiety which in and of itself can cause diarrhea among other symptoms and ruin people’s life.
A test at 3months post exposure will give you a definitive result (and if the rapid test is negative post 3 months you can consider that definitive, too).
Don’t let this (in most cases, irrational) fear ruin your life. My advice would be to learn more about HIV transmission from an expert and speak to a therapist about your fears and anxieties and what may be causing them. If you can’t stop obsessing even after you receive your negative test results (or if you don’t trust your test results) you need to speak to a counsellor/therapist about why you are unable to accept the results or why you are still so anxious.
Good luck.
ps. the “symptoms” of early HIV infection are not unique to HIV. They are the SAME symptoms as can be experienced with almost all viral infections. So, I would advocate regular/routine HIV testing (and not only testing in reaction to an exposure) and don’t obsess about the early HIV symptoms as they are more likely the result of something else. And continue to use protection. Using a condom consistently and properly provides a lot more protection than most people think (especially when you learn that HIV transmission does not occur every time someone has unprotected sex with someone with HIV….not even close…..and when you add condoms to the mix, you can be assured that it is highly highly highly highly unlikely that you would get HIV from sex.
I received oral sex from a prostitute,like 20-30 seconds or so without protection, am I at risk of HIV?
Yesterday I received oral sex from a prostitute while drunk after a party.
like 20 or 30 seconds without a condom. She didn’t have visible sores in her mouth as far as i remember, but I am very very VERY worried about HIV risks with this.
I’ve heard that these risks are really low with oral sex, and even lower as the receiver, but I wanted to hear some opinion if you guys dont mind.
Can bodily fluids, like saliva, get to the bloodstream via the Meatus?
I am really stupid for having done that, after it hapened i just ran home and took a really long and thorough shower.
I am really REALLY worried about HIV
thanks a lot
first of all calm down… it’s okay….stressing out will only make you feel worse…
1st of all- it was oral sex, and unless you have any open sores or cuts on your genitals then you should be fine.
2nd- hiv is mostly transmitted through blood. the chances of receieving hiv from saliva is from miniscule to no chance at all.
i wouldn’t be worried for now, but i would get a test done (or a routine) std check up for other stds… however for peace of mind, get an hiv test in about (i know this sounds bad) but 6 months… hiv antibodies do not show up after infection sometimes until about 6 months of introduction
Please help!!!Chances of getting HIV AIDS from oral sex?
I gave a guy oral sex. He finished in my mouth, but I spit it out. I don’t have any cuts in my mouth. I want to get tested but planned parenthood said I have to wait 6 months for it to be accurate. I was so stÙpid, & now I’m freaking out. From what I did, am I at high risk to catch it? Please help, I’m so scared!
does he have it?? its not very likely…
What are the chances of contracting HIV from environmental factors?
Assuming you haven’t had any high risk activity such as sharing needles or oral/anal/vaginal sex.
Also, how long can the HIV virus live outside of the human body? And how much of the virus do you need to get into the body before you contract HIV? Also, are AIDS patients always sick when their CD4 count is under 200
Project for school
HIV is overwhelmingly transmitted through sexual contact, through intravenous drug use, through infected blood donations and from mother to child during pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding. HIV is not transmitted through everyday social contact. It only takes a small amount of blood, or semen to infect someone. When someone’s CD4 count is below 200 it only means that they are susceptible to opportunistic infections; meaning that their immune system is not capable of fighting off infections or other disease and illness. It is very common for someone with less than 200 to be very ill. A CD4 of less than 200 deems an AIDS diagnosis anything above that is still considered HIV positive.
How risky is oral sex?
I performed oral sex on my girlfriend for the first time today and, though i know she’s clean, iv been wondering what dangers there could be, so that i know in future.
I know there’s a risk of HIV, but what else could there be? I mean anything, from serious diseases to minor irritations.
Also, if bacteria is a factor, does using mouthwash (eg. Listerine) soon after help eliminate some risk?
Fred is talking rubbish so please don’t listen. its not a question of it getting into your stomach, its what you will get in your mouth, throat and nose from contact:
Chlamydia (causes infertility)
Herpes (no cure)
Warts (no cure)
Gonorrhoea (painful)
Syphilis (organ failure, blindness & death but very treatable)
you would have to swap a lot of juice to get HIV from her but it could happen. mouth wash will eliminate no risk at all. best using a dental dam. its a thin sheet of latex that you put over the girl’s ‘special area’ to protect your mouth. i suggest you do some research, but well done for starting here.
HIV and oral sex….?
i gave a guy oral sex, and i swallowed some of the cum, is the rix of catching HIV from that high? i heard it is not as high as regualr sex, but i am really scared. i know i need to get tested, but i am scared to and want to know the risk factor before hand
How risky is oral sex?
The likelihood that HIV is transmitted from an HIV-positive person to an HIV-negative person depends on the type of contact involved. HIV is most easily transmitted by unprotected anal sex (that is, without condoms), unprotected vaginal sex, sharing injecting equipment, and from mother to baby.
Oral sex has been shown to be a less risky activity than these practices, but is definitely not risk free. It’s also worth remembering that other sexually transmitted infections, such as syphilis, herpes and gonorrhoea, can be quite easily transmitted through oral sex.
In the past few years a number of studies have been published on the risks of HIV transmission from oral sex. One American study reported that of 122 gay men with HIV, 8% reported oral sex as their only risk activity. However, some of the men in this study who initially said oral sex was their only risk activity subsequently admitted having unprotected anal sex. A recent study didn’t find any cases of oral transmission of HIV over a ten year period in over 100 couples where one partner was HIV-positive and the other HIV-negative. Another study from the US found involving gay men found the risk to be effectively zero, but didn’t exclude the possibility of there being a risk. The UK’s Public Health Laboratory Service estimates that between 1% and 3% of HIV cases may be due to oral sex.
what is oral sex and how it is difference from normal .?
is there any risk getting hiv by oral, please guide its very imporltant, actually my boyfrnd told he had sucked private parts of his frnds many times, is any risk there.
You sound like you are playing with a loaded gun!! Why take any chances this is your life your talking about!! And also if you dont know the diffence between oral sex and normal sex YOU ARE TO DAMN YOUNG TO BE DOING ANY OF IT…..
In Vaginal or Oral Sex, How exactly is HIV spread?
Just want to know and feel safe about what i did. In vaginal sex, if it occurs without exchange of fluid from woman to man, what are chances of getting an HIV, and what exact vaginal secretions (may sound stupid) put the risk of geting the virus?
And in oral sex, with no exchange of fluids what are the chances?
Thank you.
With ALL sex (oral, vaginal, or anal) there is ALWAYS an exchage of fluid between the man and woman. That is why it’s crucial to wearing a condom! Girls secreate discharge during sex wether or not they feel it..and guys secreate a discharge before they orgasm without even knowing it. So even if he “didn’t finish” or pulled out..you’re still at risk for ANY STD and pregnancy. HIV isn’t as common as Ghoneria, Herpes, and Chlamydia. If you’re considering having sex and are timid about the risk, go to your local Planned Parenthood with your partner and both get tested! Here’s a good link to find out more information on STD’s..symtoms, cures..and the whole bit.
CAN I GET HIV FROM ORAL SEX?
About 18 months ago I received oral sex from my boyfriend (only once). He told me he had never had any sexual contact with anyone before and I’ve talked with his ex girlfriends and they verify his story. However, recently (in the last 3 months or so) I’ve been feeling ill… with mild fever and swollen lymph nodes…(I got tested for Herpes and Mononucleosis and tested negative). I’m a bit frightened because I don’t know if I could have HIV. I’ve read that the only risk of getting HIV is if there are cuts in the mouth of the person giving oral sex. To my knowledge my boyfriend’s gums weren’t bleeding when he gave me oral sex. Is it true that saliva actually contains enzymes that destroy HIV and that is the reason why you can’t get HIV from oral sex?? Lately I’ve been very worried and I’m underage so I can’t get a test yet. Thanks in advance for answering my question!!!
Ok, could you also tell me what’s the difference between french kissing for example and receiving oral sex? The possibilities of getting HIV must be the same in both cases, since only you are in contact with the other person’s saliva and if the giving partner has cuts in his mouth then it doesn’t matter whether the blood comes in contact with your mouth or any other part of the body, right? The chances of getting HIV must be the same
your boyfriend cannot give you HIV from giving you oral sex. He performed it on you. If he hasn’t had sexual contact with anyone before or had a blood transfusion or been a drug addict using dirty needles then he cant possibly have it either.
Have you seen a general doctor in regards to the mild temperature and swollen lymph nodes and been tested for these symptoms?
see your doctor but i can assure you that you haven’t got HIV
risks of homosexual oral sex?
hi, im bi sexual and my girlfriend wants oral sex with me. i know the risks, but i just want to know:
can HIV be spread through saliva?
will we be safe from HIV as long as we both are clear from any cuts?
what is the danger for me?
thank you! x
if she has suffered from cold sores then you could get genital herpes and if you have had cold sores then you could give her genital herpes even when no cols sore is showing..80% of the population test positive for the herpes virus and genital herpes caused by oral sex is on a rapid increase.
How big of a percentage is HIV in Oral sex?
Well okay, Its been a year. I’ve cleaned up my life, Ive actually surprisingly I have a girlfriend now, I graduated college, joined a church etc etc…
Okay the past haunts me very very much, I’ve actually turned into a hypochondriac lol. But okay, When I went through my Rebel Bisexual year, Blew 5 guys at different times, one guy i blew twice in the same day. None of them only 2 of them ejaculated in my mouth and i spit it out. But the rest ejaculated on the ground. “Okay but How big of a percentage is a risk do i have of have catching hiv”, All of them said they were clean, but you can never trust. I just hate that i hung out with the wrong croud. Hopefully the past stays in the past.
And also, I’ve only had anal sex once, I bottomed, We used a condom so my fear on that end from my other question has subsided.
@MzCalypso I got an hiv march of Last year. After the test came back neg A few months later i hooked up and blew the last 2 guys.
There’s only been one case in the whole history of AIDS of HIV being passed orally, and that leads me to think that it wasn’t passed orally in that case either.
Basically, HIV is passed through unprotected anal sex, and from drug users sharing needles, and from blood transfusion.
So I would not worry about the HIV, though, to be absolutely sure please check out a gay men’s health center, or a county health office, or a Planned Parenthood branch, and get yourself anonymously tested to make sure.
What is sometimes passed along orally is HPV (human papillomavirus). That’s usually not a big deal, but in some strains it is tied in with oral or anal cancers, so you might want to get a shot for HPV. Ask a health worker at a clinic about that.
I doubt you really need to worry much about an STI.
However, I do have another question.
Since you at least have some bisexual capability, well, are you predominantly straight or predominantly gay?
If you like guys more, it will be really hard for you to marry a woman. I tried that, and ended up falling into clinical depression because I had been stuffing down my true affections for so long, and my marriage unraveled. If I’m honest with myself, I realize I am almost entirely gay in my affections, and it was just unwise of me to marry a girl.
On the other hand if you like girls more, well, this could work out for you. But be honest with yourself: do you get totally aroused, excited, energized, and passionate about this woman? Do you love her passionately, more than a guy? Is she really what you want and need?
If so, I wish you well, and give you prayers and blessings!
If not, please re-think this marriage and find a nice Christian gay guy to share life with.
Whichever you do, know that you are good and beautiful, and God loves you like crazy.
do small amount of sperm on mouth after doing oral sex is a high risk to transmitt hiv?
i give an oral sex this afternoon to a stranger unfortunately before he comes all the sperm he suirted a little amount on my mouth because he did’nt tell me he’s coming, but i did’nt swallow it i spit in on a tissue, but i don’t know if i spit all the drops in my mouth, i’m afraid now maybe i can get hiv from there is’nt it? is the risk high to i have to be afraid?
hey man im a hiv/std counselor – oral sex is low risk as long as you don’t have any cuts in your mouth. you could be at risk for catching other STDS that can be transmitted orally. if you like to talk more about this email me. it may take a few days for me to answer but i promise i will. there are a lot of things that need to play out in order to transmit hiv orally. in 7 years i personally never seen an hiv case only by having oral sex— people do lie because they won’t admit to doing anal sex and eventually they tell the truth
Sex in Amsterdam.What’s the risk of getting HIV?
Hello.
I’ve got a little bit concerned about my trip to Holland.I’ve been to Amsterdam a week ago and used a Red Light District girl(pretty stupid,I know,just my curiosity)Now I’m scared if I have HIV.
So that’s what happened..She put a condom on me and gave me oral sex.Her lips also touched my ,,balls,,..Then we did vaginal sex(doggystyle)..The thing is that 4 days later my ,,balls,,started scratching a little bit..In 2 more days it stopped,but I have now(6 days later)some signs of:a runny nose,really tired from doing nothing,a little bit fever..But it can also be the fact that I did swimming before recieving these flu-like simptomes..dunno..
Now I’m scared as hell to get HIV or Cancer ,although they say that girls in Amsterdam have health tests every 2 months or so..
Thank u for your attention..I hope it’s notthat crappy as I think.
The liklihood is that there is nothing wrong with you other than a cold, but no-one on Yahoo Answers can confirm that. You should go to a doctor. At the very least they can either put your mind to rest or refer you for tests – either way it’s better than sitting there stewing about it
I’m really not sure that all the details were needed or appreciated, but ok, and I also think that curiousity is a bit of a lame excuse. You used a prostitute – big deal, not my cup of tea but if you are going to do it then be a man about it
As for the tests, well prostitutes in the RLD are cleaner and less disease ridden than street walking prostitutes, but the 2 month health checks are voluntary and not mandatory. Also using a condom throughout means the chances of catching anything are pretty small.
However, like I said, the only way to get this off your mind is to go to your doctor.
can i get any diseases from kissing or oral sex?
hey i just met a girl and we ended up kissing and and recieved oral sex from her. as she was preforming it she pulled down to hard and i got a little rip on my head of the penis which i didnt notice untill after a few minutes (i didnt ejaculate). i did not use a condom. im worried about hiv etc and dont know if im at risk. also while we were kissing she brushed her teeth on my tounge. im not sure if that matters? but im mostly worried about the blood and the lack of a condom. please help im really stressing out!!! =(
just to clarify the small rip. its the ‘string’ bit which holds the forskin to the head of the penis. when she pulled it down a little to hard i think it tore a little and left some blood. all this happened a few hours ago so there isnt really any symtoms just yet. i donno if itll help but i put some alcohol on it as soon as i got home to disinfect the area (hopefully). but assuming that i was the only one with a cut i should be pretty much fine right? and is herpies curable(along with any other stis im at risk off)?
yes u can get stds or stis from kissing and oral sex. body fluids are being passed and there is skin to skin contact even during oral sex, specially if u didn’t use a condom. hiv is not as common as some of the other stds out there like herpes (which could be what the red rip is on your penis head). the more common thing to get from kissing would be cold sores (oral herpes).
please try not to be embarrassed about going to the doctor. have them test the red rip thing (while u still have it) and have them test u for stds and what ever else your worried about. u can go to planned parent hood without a parent or guardian.
Is it possible to get HIV from biting a guy’s nipple?
I thought even oral sex has a low risk of getting HIV. Does it also apply when I bit a guy’s nipple? I’m not sure if it bled. If he indeed bled, should I also have an open sore in my mouth to get HIV? What if I don’t have any open sore, can I still get it?
From 1-10 (10 being the riskiest), how big are my chances to get HIV?
How about a 0? Even if you got blood in your mouth it is almost impossible to get HIV.
What are the risks of getting HIV from my partner if I performed oral sex on her?
I performed oral sex on my girlfriend a while ago, and I didn’t really think anything of it. Then last week I got this sore throat and cough. I’m really freakin out, could it be HIV?
HIV is actually a fragile disease but their is a chance it could be passed to you through oral sex. Having a sore throat and cough a week later is more a sign of a cold though. It is highly unlikely that you would show any symptoms so soon. Go get checked to be sure anytime you have had unprotected sex though.
HIV through oral sex?
I was reading through some of the past questions…but I didnt see any detailed information on the answer I’m looking for.. I need to know all the major and minor risk of contracting the HIV virus…
I saw a posting on catching Hiv through oral sex, I know as far as open sores can get you infected. The scenario I was giving to write about was in a case like when a person have a root canal or a missing tooth where u have a opening in your gum from where your tooth was, that may have been a few years old, its that considered being an open sore, if there is no blood?
Is that person likely to be infected with the virus if he or she was to perform oral sex on an infected person and why?
And does it matter if the person was newly infected or HIV+ for a long time?
What are the chances the person performing oral sex will be infected?
The point is not to get the infected person’s blood, sperm, or pre-c**into “your mouth or bloodstream”. I’m assumming you’re talking about oral sex on a penis. That being said, you should not get infected while performing oral sex on a man as long as you don’t get his sperm in your mouth or swallow it.
In the gay community I’ve never heard of somebody contracting HIV from oral sex. Mostly it’s from anal penetration or swallowing c**. I don’t think a person is at serious risk unless they just stupidly swallow the persons sperm or get the infected person’s blood in their system.
While your mouth is sucking on his sexual organ, make sure your bobb-open your mouth periodically so that the air gets into your mouth. It’s no guarantee, but the air helps to kill some of the bacteria that would otherwise go down your throat.
Your tongue should be used as the primary stimulator on the person’s organ.
For performing oral sex on a woman who is HIV positive, I’m not sure about that, being a gay man.
How risky is it to give men and women oral sex? HIV risk ONLY?
I’m bisexual and I like to give men and women oral sex. I know you can get other STDs besides HIV from giving oral sex. I just want to know how risky it is for getting HIV from giving oral sex to men and women.
I do not use condoms or dental dams when I give men and women oral sex but I make sure I do not have cuts/burns, sores, or have just brushed my teeth or had dental work done. I also DO NOT swallow or take fluids into my mouth at all.
Also I have NEVER given a woman oral sex when it’s “That time of the month” and there’s blood down there and the idea grosses me out.
I know some men who do like to do this so that is why I added it in.
I also know that most people who become HIV+ become poz because of sharing IVs/rigs or unprotected @nal or V@g1n@al sex. I do not IV anything and I do not BB or do it raw without condoms.
HIV risk from Oral and Protected Sex?
Hi, Yesterday was the worst night. I engaged with a sex worker in Gurgaon, India at a disco. It was a very short encounter. She gave a unprotected oral sex for around 10 seconds. After which I put on a condom. She gave me oral sex for another 5 minutes maybe. After that we had sex for around 2 minutes. I don’t know if she had HIV or any other STD’s since I didn’t ask.
I went to a doctor today and he prescribed me HIV-1 Antigen test and HIV–2 Western blot test. I am still awaiting for its results. I am not sure if these tests will give full proof result just with a day.
Please help me. Advise me how should I get proper screening for HIV and all other STDs and what are my real chances of contracting any disease. Thanks for your help.
What about anal oral sex and HIV?
Hello, i’m Xavier.
Well you see, i met a lady one night and i slept with her. She was ‘too easy’ and i dont know why.
So, basically we had sex. I DID use a condom but i performed oral sex on her vagina and anus. She asked me for it so that i did.
She had her anus very very clean, and that made me wonder but at the time we were doing it i didnt mind or care as you can imagine.
Now, i was checking up the internet and i have not found much information about how much risk has :
- performing oral sex to the vagina
and
- performing oral sex to the anus.
I would like you to please post up your answers and so the source from where you got it.
Also, if you know any doctor forum online or something.
Now, this happened in February ( now its august ) but i took one test in march and it was negative. HIV test of course.
It was my first time having sex and i consider i wasted that experience.
So besides being afraid of contracting HIV i feel dissapointed of myself.
Awaiting for your answers, Xavier
Regards.
Dont worry! youll be fine friend!
if you dont have any visible symptoms of anything wrong by now, your prolly in the clear!
Take this as a lesson and be safe!
Are there documented cases of HIV from oral sex?
The CDC states 5 cases, but doesn’t go into any further detail. At the same time, MedHelp responds to all their forums pertaining to transmission via oral sex as “no risk”….Which to believe? Do any of you know someone who indeed was infected this way? I’m very curious.
One method to determine the risk of orally transmitting HIV is by studying serodiscordant couples who practice unprotected oral sex and are exposed to no other risks for infection. Thus, a 10-year (1989–2000) follow-up study was performed on 263 stable serodiscordant heterosexual couples whose only risk exposure was oral–genital contact without the use of a condom, with condoms being used for other sexual practices. Despite 10,295 active and 10,658 passive oral–genital contacts, no cases of seroconversion to HIV were found (del Romero J et al., AIDS. 2002).
Also, I read that out of ~200 homosexual couples ~2 people got infected through oral sex, those had caries and other ulcers in their mouths.
Also, distinction should be made in the directionality of transmission – from mouth to genital risk should be less than from genital (mucus or semen) to mouth.
Saliva contains anti-viral factors. Also, oral mucosa contains less CD4 cells than genital mucosa.

can you get HIV from giving oral sex?
I have given oral sex to my boyfriend and he has ejaculated in my mouth…I have swallowed before and I’m afraid that could put me at a higher risk of getting HIV…there was no blood exposure and im sure of that but is transmission still possible and what are the chances that I could have gotten it?
i forgot to say that theres a very small chance my bf even has HIV unless he’s gotten it fairly recently beause he has been tested before…I was just wondering the chances that i would get HIV if he actually did have it
Yes. It can be conveyed in the transmission of body fluids. You can also get a number of different STDs that way.
what kinda STD’s can you get from performing/receiving oral sex?
i have a few questions about STD’s and i’m hoping that some1 would give me some information about it:
1)
A- i was wondering if any1 could tell me, if you can get STD’s from oral sex… what kinda STD’s you can get from performing/receiving oral sex?
B- and also… is there any visible signs that would give away if a man may have an STD that could be transmitted through oral sex?
2) i have been told that the risk of getting HIV thru oral sex is very small.. but.. i am not sure whether that’s true or not… if you are performing oral sex on a man, and whether you know it or not, he’s HIV positive, and he precomes… could you get HIV? what if he ejaculates in ur mouth?
3)
A- and lastly… what about rimming? can you get STD’s by rimming?
B- and is there any visible signs if the person has some kinda STD that you could get through rimming?
what kinda answer is that? u r a doctor and u can’t answer my question properly… and u suggest viagra? lol
if that would be the solution for everything… i guess there wouldn’t be any sick patients today
you can get std from oral sex yes and you can get any std through oral
well visable signs would be warts or blisters or off colored discharge coming out of his penis
2 yes you can get hiv from oral you can get any std that way
3 like i said you can get stds from anyway if the person is infected with an std
depends on the std what signs it had but some std r symptomless so if you are really worried that you could get an std from someone use a condom and get them and yourself tested because stds arent fun
Risk of contracting HIV from oral sex?
What is the risk of receiving oral sex? Am I at a heavy risk of getting it? I never ejaculated and it didn’t last long but I am worried, I didn’t really know the person giving it
are there any steps I can take right now to limit risk of infection?
Very low risk.
The biggest risk is getting a load up urass from someone infected.
Use condoms whenfucking all the time.
Don’t forget about herpes, gonorrhea, hepatitus a,b,c,d,e,f and hpv =genital warts.
suckcock , don’t swallow
If ever after sex u show flu symptoms like a day later, see a doctor.
The day after sex u should feel super, like a god-virile. If ur weak, u may have caught something.
Is first degree burn inside mouth considered an open wound and might be high risk to get HIV in oral sex?
HI there,,, i have just a question guys about the safety in having oral sex prior to HIV issue. I sucked a guy 2 days ago and i have a first degree burn inside my upper gums, it is because i ate a hot fried chicken from a restaurant 13 hours before i sucked him. I don’t know if it is an open wound that might be transfered the HIV and i want to know if the risk is high. The burn is painful of course like a typical burn you get when you drink hot coffee, and a very thin layer of skin is removed. I forgot about this so now im so nervous if im exposed to a high level of possibility to get HIV. though i didnt eat the semen but i know there is pre *** present.
R the risks of getting HIV from oral sex as much as intercourse?
I’ve heard thats its very likely that u can get HIV through intercourse with an infected person. But what about oral sex. Its is still very risky to?
Yup – risks are the same.
Play with clean partners, and use condoms just to be safe.
What are the risks of HIV infection with protected sex?
I had unprotected sex with somone who is HIV positive, i was insertive in anal sex.
4 months later I still tested negative.
I had protected insertive (I was top) anal sex, with never even touching his semen to my body. He also gave me oral sex (I was unprotected). we had sex about 15 times total this way.
This happened from 1.1.09 – 1.24.09
I’m wondering what the odds of getting HIV from my boyfriend when having protected sex?
And…ive been sick recently, showing some signs of HIV acute infection (like sore throat, cough, fatigue, etc), However, I took anti-biotics and it went away mostly in a week.
Since the symptoms are so vague im wondering what my risk is? Should i worry?
Please dont tell me to get tested, i know that, im waiting for march.
thank you
This person was HIV positive, I knew his status. We are dating in distance. I’m just wondering as of now, if my chance is very probable?
I’m almost positive the condom never broke, i always checked.
Maybe I’m just looking for some reassurance while im waiting for the window period.
Your chance of contracting HIV is very slim. Your 4 months test proves that you did not catch HIV from the unprotected incident. Now you had protected anal sex with someone, which I assume you do not know his HIV status, and for this the chance is very slim if condom did not break.
Unprotected oral sex carries a risk of 1 in 10000 per exposure. So the risk of oral sex was very low as well.
To summarize, it is extremely unlikely that you contracted HIV from this incident. A negative result after 6-8 weeks will prove that you are not infected.
Just one comment. Safer sex is not only using condoms. It is also choosing your partner wisely. You should ask about his status before having sex and choose someone who is not at high risk of HIV.
If you do this and always use condom, you can expect to remain negative for the rest of your life.
Can i get HIV from oral sex at a high risk?
I do fool around a lot and was wondering if you can catch hiv from oral sex. I see a lot of stuff like i gotta have a stretchy guard thingy to go down on a girl. all these tools is like making sex not even good anymore. my parents, uncles, aunts, grand parents, etc said that back then sex was not even like that. you use to can just have sex and just worry about pregnanc
Oral sex is not a risk of HIV transmission, allthough other STDS are possible.
are the odds of finding 21 dollars on the ground higher or lower than the odds of hiv from blood to wound?
drop or inch long spot of blood too. the same, lower, or higher chance from a HIGHLY low risk exposure to hiv (eg oral sex; i DEFINITELY don’t do that though? bout 5 months ago, i was happy finding it 5 months ago but now, im kinda worried because it may be the same as a chance of hiv from a low risk exposure. is a low hiv risk (eg oral sex, cm to inch long dot of hiv+ blood to wound) lower, same, or higher risk as finding $21 on the ground?
Odds are higher….
Are the risks of getting HIV from oral sex significant?
(and what about herpes and other bugs?)
Oral Sex and the Risk of HIV Transmission
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. In addition, since most sexually active individuals practice oral sex in addition to other forms of sex, such as vaginal and/or anal sex, when transmission occurs, it is difficult to determine whether or not it occurred as a result of oral sex or other more risky sexual activities. Finally, several co-factors can increase the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex, including: oral ulcers, bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other STDs.
When scientists describe the risk of transmitting an infectious disease, like HIV, the term “theoretical risk” is often used. Very simply, “theoretical risk” means that passing an infection from one person to another is possible, even though there may not yet be any actual documented cases. “Theoretical risk” is not the same as likelihood. In other words, stating that HIV infection is “theoretically possible” does not necessarily mean it is likely to happen-only that it might. Documented risk, on the other hand, is used to describe transmission that has actually occurred, been investigated, and documented in the scientific literature.
Various scientific studies have been performed around the world to try and document and study instances of HIV transmission through oral sex. A programme in San Francisco studied 198 people, nearly all gay or bisexual men. The subjects stated that they had only had oral sex for a year, from six months preceding the six-month study to its end. 20 per cent of the study participants, 39 people, reported performing oral sex on partners they knew to be HIV positive. 35 of those did not use a condom and 16 reported swallowing cum. No-one became HIV positive during the study. Due to the low number of unprotected serodiscordant pairings, all that can be said is that there was a less than 2.8 per cent chance of infection through oral sex over a year. In 2000, a different San Francisco study of gay men who had recently acquired HIV infection found that 7.8 per cent of these infections were attributed to oral sex. However, the results of the study have since been called into question due to the reliability of the participant’s data.
In June 2002, a study conducted amongst 135 HIV-negative Spanish heterosexuals, who were in a sexual relationship with a person who was HIV-positive, reported that over 19,000 instances of unprotected oral sex had not lead to any cases of HIV transmission. The study also looked at contributing factors that could effect the potential transmission of HIV through oral sex. They monitored viral load and asked questions such as whether ejaculation in the mouth occurred and how good oral health was. Amongst HIV-positive men, 34 per cent had ejaculated into the mouths of their partners. Viral load levels were available for 60 people in the study, 10 per cent of whom had levels over 10,000 copies. Nearly 16 per cent of the HIV-positive people had CD4 counts below 200. The study, conducted over a ten year period between 1990 and 2000, adds to the growing number of studies which suggest varying levels of risk of HIV transmission from oral sex when compared to anal or vaginal intercourse.
At the 4th International Oral AIDS Conference held in South Africa, the risk of transmission through oral sex was estimated to be approximately 0.04 per cent per contact. This percentage figure is a lot lower than the two American figures, because this figure is a risk per contact percentage, whereas the other figures are percentage risks over much longer time periods. Oral sex is still regarded as a low-risk sexual activity in terms of HIV transmission, but only when more work is done will we be clearer as to the risks of oral sex.
HIV risk can you get it by …?
NEED HELP AND A FEW ANSWERS PLZ !
by twlhcm1, 32 minutes ago
i have had two encouters i am slightly worried about. firstly around 3 moths ago i had protected sex with a girl who has been called by other people since unawre ot eme at the time a bit of a sleep around… she also gave me oral sex, now two questions here one is can you get HIV from oral sex if your recieving.. AND just befor having sex i fingered her and when i put the condom on i touched the head of my penis maybe even the (eye, uthera) not too sure wht its called with the finger i fingered her with can you transmit HIV like this<<<<<<<<<<<< THE THING I WANT TO KNOW MOST)…. i went for a test at about 7 weeks or so and was told the window period is 6 weeks and so it came bck negative but jus wanted ot double check… the second inncident i done the same thing and touched the head of my penis wit hthe hand i fingered the girl with this encounter was around the 1st of october… i got a rash on my face and head of penis… roughtly 2 weeks for the penis one now just wanted to know if this is sypmtops of hiv too ..
any help is very much appecitated
I’d say the risks are quite low. While it’s no doubt theoretically possible to get HIV either of those ways, in practice it just isn’t likely at all. Not to mention that she probably didn’t have it to begin with and you’ve already been tested.
What is the risk of contracting HIV from oral sex and what can I do now?
What is the risk of receiving oral sex? Am I at a heavy risk of getting it? I never ejaculated and it didn’t last long but I am worried, I didn’t really know the person giving it
are there any steps I can take right now to limit risk of infection?
Is the other person HIV + ?
If not or undetermined, u worrying ur self for no real reason.
If the other person is positive, what were u thinking?
To ingestjizz it must go thru the stomach’s acid juices, be absorbed into the blood stream where white blood cells will attack. When u get a load thru ur anus, into your lower intestine, there’s no defense.
How high is getting HIV from oral sex?
I had oral sex with someone few days ago, it was more body contact, kissing and cuddling and some blow jobs, but no ejaculation in mouth at all, and after couple days of that the person told me that his HIV positive , and now im scared i don’t know what to do, please help me understand how high is my risk to get infected, some people say its 0 some people say very low risk, i don’t know what to think now
As long as he didnt cum in your mouth and you have no open wounds or cuts in your mouth, u are more than likely to be fine. I would recommend starting PEP tho to make sure!
Question about HIV risk?
I am worried about possible exposure to HIV. I performed oral sex and had unprotected vaginal sex with a guy, (once in September and again in December) although he wore a condom for about half of the time and he did not ejaculate inside me. He told me he had an STD test a few weeks after his last partner, which was several months ago. How much at risk am I? I’m going to have a test at the end of January. Will this be enough time for a test to be reliable? It will be exactly four months from the first time but only five or six weeks from the second time.
as he didnt ejacuate inside you – the risk is lower – but there is still a risk
him saying he had an STD test is good – but they arn’t reliable
For example – HIV wont show up on a test until 3-6 months after infection- so unless he didnt have unprotected sex for 6 months before the test…. there is risk
Go and have your test – they will probably ask you to come back again for another test to co-inside with 3 months after your last exposure – but its important to go for a test sooner rather than later – catching things early prevents serious damage
Can two virgins get std from oral sex?
Neither my boyfriend or I have ever had any kind of sexual contact w/ others (I trust him completely, we’re not the types to engage in casual relationships at all.) A few days ago we performed oral sex on eachother for the first time and everything is fine, no symptoms. But I think I should have educated myself. We don’t intend to have regular sex anytime soon, but better to know now than later.
So first off, can we catch anything from eachother if we’ve never been with other people? I’m thinking that HIV or hepatitis can come from non sexual contact, so even if it is remote it’s a risk for anyone, virgin or not. But what about other stds?
As for using condoms, we can use flavoured ones in the future, but would that feel good for him? (I know that shouldn’t be the primary concern when weighed with potential stds, but I’d still like to know.)
When he’s performing oral sex on me, how can we protect ourselves? I’ve heard of using plastic wrap, but does that still feel good?
If you have cold sores on your lips (usually Herpes Simplex I), you could potentially transmit it to the genital area. That is the only thing I can really think of at the moment.
