Getting HIV and/or AIDs...

BXR
Hi there,

My question is:-

-Can you get HIV and/or AIDs from ANY oral sex activity, whether it be giving or receiving?

Thank you.

No.  People do not get HIV from giving or getting oral sex. Air and saliva both inactivate the virus.  The only ways adults get IV is from unprotected vaginal or anal penetrating sex or sharing IV drug needles.  There is not a single, documented and proven case of HIV transmitting through oral activity.
