Can HIV be transmitted if you swallow the semen of someone who is HIV-positive?

Answer 1

It is possible with any transfer of any body fluid, the chances just change depending on what fluid, how transfered, how much and how often. Oral sex carries less risk than vaginal or anal. There is still a risk. If you had a cold sore, bleeding gums, a recent tooth pulled, anything that gives the virus an opening to your system. Stomach acid will kill the virus very quickly so once it reaches your stomach there really isn't much danger. If you wanted to bet on it, I wouldn't be too worried. I belive it is possible to be checked and be fairly certain in the results in 6 weeks. Again, I personally would not worry about it. You do realize that you are playing with fire. Unless precautions are taken, you will at some point likely become infected also.

Here's more from WikiAnswers contributors:

In short, the answer to this is yes.

Although some sources will tell you that the risks of transmission through oral sex are minimal; other studies have suggested that as many as ten percent of HIV transmissions could have occoured through oral sex.

The key factor to reducing risk seems to be good oral health.

Whilst saliva and stomach acids will naturally tend to kill the virus; any sort of oral leison, gum disease, cold sores, ulcers, cut / bleeding gums, recent dental work, sore throat / early signs of a cold or the presence of an other inflamatory sexually transmitted infection (such as gonorrhea) opens up an infection route and starts to introduce real risk factors.

Even if your oral health is generally good, brushing your teeth can cause very small cuts to your gums - so 'safer sex' guidelines will normally suggest that you refrain from oral sex when you have just brushed your teeth.

The use of recereational drugs can also introduce a risk. Rubbing cocaine, or ampetahnines, onto you gums can cause inflamation .. and taking amphetamines, or ecstacy, might make you chew the inside of your mouth.

Assuming that none of the above factors are present - and that the semen was not kept in the mouth for any length of time - the overall risk should however be fairly small.

Finally, if you ever feel the need to 'freshen' your mouth before engaging in oral sex, do not brush your teeth. Just rub a little toothpaste onto you teeth - or suck on a mint. Do not use a mouthwash as this can temporarily neutralise the natural anti-viral properties of your saliva.

Yes it can.

it is only possible if you have any open wounds in your mouth or have a stomach ulcer then it is possible and i would recommend you to go to a Doctor

Yes, it is possible.

Answer 2

No.

You can only catch HIV from someome who is HIV positive.

HIV negative = does not carry HIV, can't infect anyone else.

HIV positive = does carry HIV, and can infect other people.

Answer 3

There is no danger to get HIV/AIDS for having swallowing another man semence if he is not infected.

Answer 4

Can - sure.

But it's not particularly clever. Oral sex can transmit HIV. You're risking a nasty disease.

Answer 5

no
