Can HIV Be Contracted Through Cunnilingus?
I am 49 yo woman living HIV+ since 1997. My T-Cell count is @ 1200 and my viral load is indictable. I also have Herpes (yay me). My boyfriend performed cunnalingis and he says his tongue started to bother him about 2 days later. He says his tongue feels dry, hard and burns underneath. COULD I HAVE PASSED ON AN STD TO HIM????

Hello,
Feeling of dryness of tongue is not a feature of herpes simplex infection. However, there is chance of transmission of infection by oral sex.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
