This and other studies have concluded that the unique properties of the oral mucosa prevent transmission of HIV by this route. A pretty good review and FREE.

INTRODUCTION
Mucosal sites represent the primary routes of HIV transmission, yet the oral mucosa appears uniquely resistant to HIV-1 infection. Since the oral cavity is not conducive to either infection or transmission of HIV, characterizing the responsible resistance factors, particularly components of innate immunity, and their mechanisms of action may identify new opportunities for interference with viral acquisition at other mucosal sites. Although many of the innate immune factors described to date exhibit both antibacterial and antiviral activities, molecules that inhibit HIV-1 are largely HIV-1 specific. Nonetheless, if these oral innate factors can be identified, characterized, and harnessed, they may be useful in protection and/or intervention in acute HIV-1 infection. Endogenous molecules acting independently or synergistically, given their lack of substantive side effects, may represent an alternative novel approach for reducing HIV risk and suppressing infection. While HIV infection via breast milk does involve oral trafficking and is an important area of study, it will only be briefly discussed here. The major emphasis of this article is on the oral cavity and salivary substances that can influence HIV infection.........

That definitely destroys any urge of indulging in oral sex, both on the giving or receiving end.

Point taken.

But could one logical reason for that be that there are more MSM than women who claim to practice penile-oral sex exclusive of other sexual practices, specifically unprotected penetrative sex ? 

Just thinking aloud.

While true, would that account for the virtual non-existence of orally transmitted HIV through heterosexual contact? If the ratio was five to one, for example, I would understand. But it's been virtually nil. I only say "virtually" because I have not trawled the Women's forum for this information.

But it's been virtually nil. I only say "virtually" because I have not trawled the Women's forum for this information.


I'm thinking along the same lines as Jonathan here. Given that women comprise around half the world's population and gay men comprise an estimated ten percent or so, I would still expect to find a fair amount of women claiming the oral route as the source of their infection if there were any real validity to this claim.

I've known plenty of women who claim to only engage in oral sex, particularly younger women (who are afraid of pregnancy or want to remain a [vaginal] virgin until marriage) as well as older women who will not have any vaginal/anal penetrative sex early on in a relationship (unprotected or otherwise), as well as women who, even in LTRs, use condoms as contraception.

I cannot recall a single woman posting in these forums (and I've been a member since 2001) who claimed to have been infected through oral. I have never known a woman "in real life" who claimed oral infection either.

Maybe the difference lies in a difference in how women take care of their oral health as compared to men? While I've met quite a few men who neglect their oral health and rarely brush their teeth, much less go to the dentist, I don't believe I've ever met a woman who neglected their mouth to that sort of extreme.  On the other hand, as far as I'm aware, extreme cases of poor oral health like meth-mouth effect women as well as men and yet we still have no reports of oral transmission in women.

You gotta admit; it is rather odd that there has never been a documented case of a woman claiming oral transmission, and I've never seen any anecdotal reports either in all the years I've been studying transmission routes. It just doesn't add up regardless of from what angle you look at it.

I beleive the reason we don't see women claiming infection with HIV via oral, yet we see it all the time in gay men is because anal sex is still considered "bad, dirty, gay, etc.". A woman could also say they were infected vaginally (totally acceptable).  With a gay man, its pretty much assumed you took it up the hiney.  Some people (gay men included) are still unconfortable with that.

You mean a man might lie about how he was infected?  Or be in denial?

Does this mean we're going to have an AM I SUPERINFECTED forum?

I'm thinking along the same lines as Jonathan here. Given that women comprise around half the world's population and gay men comprise an estimated ten percent or so, I would still expect to find a fair amount of women claiming the oral route as the source of their infection if there were any real validity to this claim.


But this is precisely why gay/bi men are, statistically speaking, at a greater risk of contracting HIV than hetero people. Since MSM comprise between roughly 7%-12% (or whatever the estimate is) of the populace anywhere, the statistic probability of them coming into contact with HIV is much higher than for an exclusively hetero person.

There is proportionally much more virus floating around in a smaller group of the populace who are likely to come into some sort of sexual contact with one another, and thus an increased likelihood of infection for any member of this group.

This, to my mind, is the overriding cause of MSM being more susceptible to HIV than the general population. Perhaps this explains one of the reasons why gay men feel more at risk- by whichever route of transmission?

LOL. No doubt someone over there will present a question about this very same scenario.


Trust, we've already had it more times than I care to think about.


I told you not to use that dildo you found on the sidewalk


We've also had a few asking about using dildos found in the trash or other places (don't recall any finding one on a sidewalk though) and at least some of them didn't even bother to wash them first. I kid you not. People are strange.

True, but that doesn't necessarily translate everywhere - keep in mind that world-wide, women account for approximately 50% of people living with hiv and in some parts of the world, there are far more cases of heterosexual transmission than MSM. And yet not one woman claims oral as their transmission route.


This, to my mind, is the overriding cause of MSM being more susceptible to HIV than the general population. Perhaps this explains one of the reasons why gay men feel more at risk- by whichever route of transmission?


It may explain one of the reasons gay men feel more at risk by whichever transmission route, but as Andy Velez is fond of saying about the science of hiv transmission, "Feelings are not facts!"

No matter which way you cut it, it remains very, very odd that women never claim oral as their transmission route and throws a huge question mark over the idea that sucking on an hiv positive cock might result in hiv transmission.

I think some people simply don't know how they got infected, so they blame oral sex. I met one guy who said he got infected through oral sex, but then he got HPV inside his anus from the same relation, so I was like... "what do you mean, you said you didn't have unprotected sex". But then he said they played around, with some frottage and it may have slipped a tiny bit inside while pushing entry... and there you go.

Some people think it's not penetration if you don't stick all the way to your balls inside.

There's a difference between "not knowing" when you were infected and being delusional.

This guy may have well gotten HIV by taking it up the ass, but I just wanted to point out that, sadly, condoms are not always effective against HPV; also penetration is not essential for HPV transmission. It's freakishly easy to catch.  I guess it also depends on the different strains  (?)

Yup, I know, but the first wart had, apparently, appeared inside the anus, so that's why I raised suspicion.

Really, just looking at the "Am I Infected" forum and you see people are pretty oblivious about HIV, what's a risk situation and what's not.

Everyone is this dam forum knows how they got teh AIDS, some got it thur unprotected sex and others got it thur IV-drug use, I find it very tedious & boring to read someone agonizing over the way they got teh AIDS..........how many more threads do we need about this topic.......really  ::)

I got teh aids when my nipple accidentally brushed up against a lady boy's cock which came out of the thong she was wearing when the rush from the poppers I was sniffing came on made my hand suddenly slap her on the ass and it made me ooze pre-cum on the dildo that she had stuffed in my ass after she picked it up off the floor.

I got the aids when I was very young from playing on my neighbors slip-n-slide . I don't blame the neighbors because using a using a community slip-n-slide without protection is consenting to the possibility of contracting slip-n-slideaids . 

Oh... and we had lots of anal sex after playing all day too .
