What are the odds of HIV transmission via oral sex

Hello doctors. I know you been answering oral sex for the longest time. But i just want to quantify the risk you been telling us. Lets say i receive unprotected oral sex from a HIV+ men with high viral load and i have bad/worst oral health (that you can think off) plus i have mouth sores. Based on this premises, what are the odds of me getting the virus per oral sexual act. Do you think this premises would make my risk like having anal sex?

Thank you doctors :)

No one has ever contracted HIV by receiving oral sex.  Your odds would be nil.  Zero. It's not even CLOSE to being like having anal sex.

Is it really almost zero regardless of the circumstances? Thank you for responding :)
