Just curious guys, how dangerous is pre-cum when you're giving head? I've heard/read it's low risk. Is it?
As stated above, it's a bodily fluid and can contain STDs. The other "danger" is that it can glue your dick to your underwear. Ouch! ;-)

In order for that blowjob to have caused infection, three criteria need to be met:
1) The HIV+ person whose dick was in his mouth needed to have had a very high viral load (ie: unmedicated): so high his precum was infectious;
and
2) There could not have been any saliva in his mouth; saliva is acidic and contains several enzymes that deactivate HIV (which is actually very delicate, unlike Herpes, for instance);
and
3) He needed to have had an actively bleeding sore in his mouth; clotted cuts of any kind are an effective barrier to HIV transmission.
The first criterion is possible. The HIV+ porn participant's identity and medical records are private, unavailable to both Burts and the production company who filmed their scene. We'll never know unless he comes forward. However, if he can prove a low-to-undetectable viral load at the time when they were shooting, he could easily prove that he played no part in Burts' seroconversion.
The second criterion is extraordinarily unlikely. As you are 100% straight, it's safe to assume that you've never had a dick in your mouth. As someone who's had many hundreds of dicks in his mouth, I can assure you that doing so without causing saliva to be produced is highly improbable. If he had been smoking Meth just prior to shooting the scene, his chances of being unable to produce saliva went up. But if they know the scene when he supposedly was infected, then they can review it to see if saliva was present or not. At any rate, everything that I've heard is that taking drugs on a mainstream gay porn set, though it happens, is rare and considered poor form.
Now comes the bleeding, open sore. Maybe he just finished brushing his teeth? Who knows? But most people would opt for gum in such a situation, as the risk of bleeding gums is very well known, and has been presumed for at least two decades now.
