Answer: by Yvonne Fulbright: (05/13/2004)
Though the risk of getting HIV, the virus that causes
AIDS, from performing oral sex on a woman is low, it is
still possible. If you have any cuts or sores on or around
your mouth that come in contact with infected vaginal
fluid, HIV may be transmitted. You can protect yourself by
using a dental dam when performing oral sex. A dental
dam is a latex barrier, placed over the female's genitals,
that allows you to perform oral sex on her worry-free.
