Brief Answer:
Regarding STDs including HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you.
I am Dr kakkar (Dermatologist and Venereologist). I have noted your concern.
Performing oral sex on a female is not a high risk for transmission of HIV. Saliva contains enzymes inhibitory to the virus. Though there is a risk for transmission of other STDs like herpes simplex virus, throat gonorrhoea & syphilis with oral sex.
