Why is it not possible

Answered by Dr. Ralph Chambers (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Because the virus is not transmitted through saliva

Detailed Answer:
Don't worry,

You can't get HIV in this method, for example, a blow job from a woman even if she has the virus because the virus cannot be transmitted that way.

Even if you had an open sore on your penis, her saliva wouldn't transmit the virus to you.
