It's not in saliva, it can't be necessarily transmitted orally unless gushing amounts of blood are in your mouth and the other persons.

People can actually live long lives with HIV with the medication that's out now. You can die from old age before HIV kills you.
And once your viral load is undetectable it's a "speculative possibility" of transmitting it.

Get educated girls, it's scary, but it's not an issue if someone is taking care of it properly.

I rather be safe/scary than sorry.....But I do appreciate your input......

QUESTION: Do you guys think it's safe to have oral sex without a condom? I heard that, during oral sex, the risk of getting an STI/STD is lower.

I've always wondered about this actually...I suppose if there's no open cuts on either end, the risk will be low anyways?

I'm always very cautious about checking for STD's, especially since I live in a big city (Toronto) and a lot of STD's including syphilis can come with no visible symptoms. So I went and got tested yesterday, and they tested for every common STD. It's always a really hard thing to physically go to a clinic and get tested, especially since they have to draw blood at one point, but you feel really good that you did afterwards. It's always best being safe and being informed on STD's.

PS- Any of you had you're Gardasil shots yet? It's a vaccine that protects you against HPV (genital warts) and I'm glad I got it

PSS- There is also a strain of gonorrhea going around major cities such as London, New York, Toronto, etc that is reluctant to the vaccine. It's technically uncurable. Be careful y'all.

And even if you're in a relationship, your partner can cheat.

I know a guy who had a serious relationship for a long time (about 3 years) and his boyfriend cheated on him. He got HIV and Hepatitis B from his boyfriend. You can't trust anyone anymore. It's so scary. Use a condom ALWAYS! Or if you wanna have unprotected sex, you and your partner should get tested on STDs. That's a right thing to do.

^ Or at least when you have a brand new partner (relationship) get tested before you have unprotected sex and then each partner can have a clean slate if both are clean
