Oral sex is essentially a no-risk activity, barring terrible periodontal disease or other oral traumas, and then only for the person giving the blowjob. Those on the getting end are safe from exposure to HIV, as is anyone engaging cunnilingus or analingus (although there is a risk for other STDs and parasites hardier than HIV). I would urge anyone uncomfortable with sucking cock raw to insist on covering it for their own peace of mind, not because science has proven a link between HIV and blowjobs.

Yeah, thank goodness it's essentially a no-risk activity or there would be many more of us who would be infected. I remember when I came out back in '94, the old timers who were HIV negative would tell me that it was because they didn't like anal sex. They only engaged in oral sex. I know it's anecdotal.

Managing the risk/reward mix of sexual pleasure is an individual thing, with each person weighing their risks for themselves. The only person responsible for your sexual health is you, and the only way to make reasonable decisions is to educate yourself with the latest and most bias-neutral scientifically verified, peer-reviewed data available.

This is oh so true. Thanks for being here and sharing what you have to share Bbucko. Thanks for the link to the other site further up on this thread. They have a very informative forum...

Much of what I was going to say has been said- as my first response in my mind was "no less safe than any other kissing"
however, herpes CAN and has been transmitted via oral sex.. be aware and be safe...

Part of the problem is that, in our third decade of living with HIV in our society, people still get squeamish about how it's transmitted. So here goes:

HIV is transmitted primarily through unprotected anal or vaginal fucking with an individual infected with the virus. Use a condom and water soluble lube and you'll be fine for these activities.

People are not risky. Activities are risky.

Oral sex is essentially a no-risk activity, barring terrible periodontal disease or other oral traumas, and then only for the person giving the blowjob. Those on the getting end are safe from exposure to HIV, as is anyone engaging cunnilingus or analingus (although there is a risk for other STDs and parasites hardier than HIV). I would urge anyone uncomfortable with sucking cock raw to insist on covering it for their own peace of mind, not because science has proven a link between HIV and blowjobs.

HIV can also be transmitted when IV drug users share their works with an infected person.

In some cases (but by no means all), HIV can be passed from mother to fetus, especially during birth trauma or during nursing.

Managing the risk/reward mix of sexual pleasure is an individual thing, with each person weighing their risks for themselves. The only person responsible for your sexual health is you, and the only way to make reasonable decisions is to educate yourself with the latest and most bias-neutral scientifically verified, peer-reviewed data available.

Thank you.....!!!!

How risky is male-to-male kissing on the mouth?

It could be either closed-mouth with lips only or open-mouth with tongues. How safe are both types of kissing?

Could dangerous germs like cold germs or even AIDS germs be transmitted that way (especially when kissing with tongues)? Also, what if one of the men is a heavy smoker and the other is a non-smoker? Does that fact increase the risk of possible disease transfer through kissing?

This is a serious inquiry. It would be nice if someone with a medical background could respond--as well as anyone else, of course. Thanks!


To me the most dangerous thing about kissing another guy (or girl) is that you might fall in love with him.

If I want to make out with somone, I'd be feeling very close to them.
