can a guy get hiv (or perhaps other kinds of std's) from going down on a girl?

"Sexual route. The majority of HIV infections are acquired through unprotected sexual relations. Sexual transmission can occur when infected sexual secretions of one partner come into contact with the genital, oral, or rectal mucous membranes of another."

Just don't suck down her juices and you should be ok for the most part.

If a girl has a cut in her mouth or some kind of sore. It can happen

Use a condom. Tough crap if she hates the taste

You won't get HIV, HERPES, god knows what else

So let's say you get a BJ from a girl with herpes, I wonder if you go and wash your d*ck off right afterwards, will that be enough to stop the virus from taking hold? How long does the virus have to be in contact with the skin on your penis for you to get herpes?

If you are getting a BJ, there is very very little chance of getting HIV, unless she had open bloody wounds in her miouth, and she was blowing blood down your ****.. If that did not happen, then you are safe.

im editing my post because i want to tell ryan that yes you can get herpes with condom use. i know because i did.
i also want to answer speakeasy's question. herpes is a skin virus not a bodily fluid one. if you give someone oral and there is enough skin contact, that's that. there isn't a set time period.
washing your face is a great idea to lower the risk, but it won't stop the spread of herpes, even if everyone tried it.
you can even catch it by kissing.
you can transfer oral herpes to genital herpes or genital herpes to oral herpes by having oral sex.


as for hiv, all i know is that it is a bodily fluid spread virus. it comes from blood, semen, vaginal secretions and pre ejaculation secretions and it can be passed thru breast milk coming into contact with your sexual oral or anal membranes. (mouth, sex organ or butthole) . at one time, we were told you could get it thru salvia, but i am unsure if that is still what is being told.


you can go to www.afraidtoask.com to find out any info you need, they include pictures and you can ask them questions also.

The kissing only comes with mutual open wounds, and blood exchange, not from any saliva

@ Penkitten,

Thanks for the link, it's very informative(and groce). It answered a lot of questions I had about diseases and such.

blink, we have several std threads here if you search under health and fitness

Herpes would be the biggest std worry regarding oral sex.

makes you wanna get a needle and give em a quick prick when you meet em to test. just tell em "oops I must have had a killer hangnail on my finger i better go file that down"
