Can HIV Be Contracted Orally By Licking Vagina?
Question: if i lick a vagina with my mouth will i get hiv
Hi,
The percentage transmission of HIV via oral route is negligible. So, it is unlikely that you would get HIV by licking a vagina with your mouth.
The concern arises if you have open cuts or sores in your oral cavity or if there is an active vaginal infection that already exists.
I hope this is clear.
Let me know if you have more concerns.
