Will One Contract Hiv Through Oral Sex?
Hi I was wondering since I've had a total Hysterectomy. Can I still contract HIV. If I have NO abrasions on the skin in the vaginal canal or on the genital area. I just always thought it had to get into your blood stream through a cut or break in the skin. I don't have any tears in my vagina. Also the same with oral sex. If I don't have a cut in my mouth can I still contract HIV through oral sex?? Thanks

hi, first of all total hysterectomy has no relation with hiv. so forget that. hiv can occurs evenif after hysterectomy. now comes to your next quary, its true that hiv can transmitted through cuts in blood stream. but its not applicable for genital. hiv can transmitted through sexual contact by seminal or vaginal fluid, blood to blood contact, and from maternal to fetus. so hiv can transmitted by sex evenif you dont have cuts or abrasion.
