transmission takes place INSIDE the body...when a PENIS is inside a vagina / anus.
now kindly move along...you do not have a hiv concern
lizzie, getitright and nick, feel free to answer
Sorry for being so rude, I was worried. Now I'm calm(I think). Just one last question. I'm not circumcised, and since HIV can infect the cells on the inside portion of the foreskin...Even if the girl had blood combined with lube when she masturbate me why is this a "NO RISK" activity?, there is blood, urethra and foreskin involved...again thank you for your answer, hope you understand that I was worried as hell
What sucks is you not taking time to read the replies that were given to you.
This simply sucks...if I want to know why, you guys simply say because i said so. You teak keep saying "HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host." But when you read something that YOU don't like, then you ban me. I just found a quote that agrees with you sometimes and completely disagrees in other things. I'm worried because there are two serious hiv/aids pages and one of the gives wrong information (Don't know wich one). Anyway, ban me if you want but before you do that tell me why the UCSF page is wrong

http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/insite?page=ask-01-10-20 ---> They say the same as teak "HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host."
http://hivinsite.ucsf.edu/insite?page=ask-01-09-11 --->They say "The only caveat would be to avoid using cum as a lubricant when wanking each other, since this could get it into the urethra."
And thats why I'm worried and confused because if there was some blood (In my case of course) and this blood got into the uretra why remains as not risky? I've read also that you can even use cum as a lubricant(aidsmeds), and even there thats nothing to worry. Why is this so contradictory? I think both pages are serious
Thank you teak. I got to say I'm worrier about the mm, uncovered penis, lube, blood, frottage and all that stuff than from the oral sex. Still no risk?
No incident HIV infections among MSM who practice exclusively oral sex.

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex. The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way. Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk". There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk".
DR. HANSFIELD
"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex. Please educate yourself about the real risks. If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. " DR HANSFIELD
"I am sure you can find lots of people who believe that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..." DR HOOK
"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK
in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA
"HIV is not spread by masturbation, through oral sex, through kissing or other casual contact." Dr. Hook
"The observation on thousands and thousands of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort)." DR HOOK
"I would not say your risk ,if he had HIV is "slim to none"- that's too high. I would say they are effectively zero. How much of his ejaculate or other genital secretions you may have swallowed makes no difference. EWH "
I would like the advise of Lizzie or Teak...thank you
