Hello,
The risk of
HIV transmission through
oral sex is generally considered to be low, but it is not zero. The risk can increase if there is an open cut or sore in the mouth or on the genitals. However, the risk is still lower than with vaginal or anal sex.
As for vaginal sex with a small cut on the outer penis, the risk of HIV transmission depends on several factors such as the
viral load of the partner who is HIV-positive, the presence of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and the use of protection such as condoms.
It is important to note that any sexual activity carries some risk of transmission of HIV and other STIs. The best way to reduce the risk of HIV transmission is to practice
safe sex by using condoms consistently and correctly, getting tested regularly for STIs, and discussing HIV and STI status with sexual partners. If you are concerned about your risk of HIV transmission, it is recommended that you consult a healthcare professional for advice and testing.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
