Still, we don’t know for sure whether oral sex is generally “safer” than other types of sex The cdc says there’s a low risk of human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) transmission from oral sex, but we still don’t know for sure if this is true for other sexually transmitted diseases as well. The risk of getting hiv from oral sex is very low but not zero Using condoms and dental dams can protect you from hiv during oral sex The risk of getting hiv through receiving oral sex (that is, a partner's mouth on your genitals) is very, very low We can't say that there's zero risk, because there are a few cases of hiv infection in people who have no other known risk factors for hiv.
It’s technically possible to transmit hiv through oral sex, but compared with other types of sex, the risk is very low. While hiv can be transmitted through oral sex, it has a much lower risk of hiv transmission compared to anal and vaginal sex This is because the enzymes in saliva can inhibit the transmission of the virus. It’s possible to contract hiv through oral sex, although it’s less common than contracting hiv through vaginal or anal sex.
