Can HIV be infected by oral sex?

Answer

Yes, each partner can have HIV infection by oral sex. There have been several cases of HIV infection as a result of oral sex with an infected person. While no one knows exactly what the extent of the risk, the evidence suggests that the risk is less than having sex through the anus or vagina unprotected.

studies indicate that latex condoms are very effective, but not ideal, in preventing HIV infection when it is used statically and correctly. If a partner is sensitive to latex, the condoms made of polyurethane (plastic) can be used.

Men who have sex with women, recommend the use of a condom (such as a natural latex piece, a Tex piece used for oral hygiene, or a condom that has been a story-shaped box) between the mouth and the partner's genitals. Insulator of this type reduces the chance of leaking blood or vaginal fluids to the mouth. Plastic adhesive can also be used, of the type used to store food.
