The first is how HIV is difficult to survive in the mouth, the second is things that do increase risk of HIV transmission and finally ways to enjoy oral sex without worry about HIV.
The inside of the mouth is a very robust area. The lining of the "skin" or "mucosa" of the mouth is difficult to penetrate. Also the presence of saliva makes it difficult for any viruses like HIV to survive and finally is that with a simple swallow you are able to clear any semen from the mouth.
With regards to oral sex, there is no risk of transmission if you are the person "getting" oral sex i.e. you are being sucked or licked.
Can You Get HIV From Oral Sex from George Forgan-Smith on Vimeo.
If you are giving head, that is you have a penis inside your mouth, as long as there is no semen or precum being released this risk of HIV is practically zero.
If a person shoots a load, or ejaculated inside your mouth the HIV virus is not able to penetrate the lining of the mouth and the saliva present is able to kill the virus quickly. The key is to swallow or spit out the semen quickly to reduce it's time in the mouth. If swallowed the acid in the stomach will kill the virus quickly.
The main risk of transmission of hiv from oral sex is if there are any cuts, ulcers or sores in the mouth. This also includes if you've had some recent dental extractions or root canal work.
If there are any sores in the mouth it's best to avoid oral sex. If you have a sore throat, again best to avoid oral and to get a check up with your doctor.
If you would like to feel totally safe giving oral sex the trick is to use a condom for oral. Non lubricated condoms are available as well as flavoured condoms as well that can help hide the rubber taste.
Of course if you are even worried you may have been exposed to HIV be sure to have a HIV test to know your status. There are doctors who are able to offer rapid HIV tests in many places in Australia and across the world.
