Can you get HIV from swallowing semen?

Answer 1

If the semen is from someone who has HIV or AIDS the answer is: yes, you can get HIV or AIDS. See your doctor for help because there are medicines that could stop you from getting HIV if you start them soon enough.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has more information on their website:

• Oral Sex and HIV Risk; see CDC related link.
• Antiretroviral Postexposure Prophylaxis After Sexual, Injection-Drug Use, or Other Nonoccupational Exposure to HIV in the United States see the CDC/MMWR related link.

If the semen is from someone who is healthy, the answer is: no, you can not get HIV from someone who doesn't have it. But be careful, people who are sick can look and feel healthy. Even medical tests may not detect the disease for quite some time, so you can't be sure if the person is healthy for many months.

On the more positive side, the risk of getting HIV by swallowing semen (or having oral sex) is generally thought to be less risky than having vaginal or anal sex. The exact level of risk is difficult to know and can be affected by other things such as oral ulcers ("mouth sores"), bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other STDs ("Sexually Transmitted Diseases").

Answer 2

Yes, you can. The odds are lower than an exchange of blood, but it is very possible.
It is possible to get HIV from swallowing ejaculate, although this is not the behavior with the highest risk. There may be openings, even if you don't feel them in any way, in the membranes of the mouth and/or throat. The infection could make entry there.
In most cases , yes. HIV can spread from semen. Also HIV can be spread by breast milk, blood and other fluids that enter your body from a HIV infected person
The act of oral sex with an infected partner would be much more likely to lead to the transmission of HIV than any ejaculate, however it is technically possible that the virus could be transmitted while the semen is traveling through the esophagus, especially in the presence of any open wounds (which may be present due to acid reflux or bulimia) en route.
Yes, any type of contact with bodily fluids that are infected with HIV will put you at risk for HIV.
Yes. In order for HIV to be transmitted between two indviduals it must pass from body fluid to body fluid.
Normally, the digestive enzymes in the mouth will destroy HIV virus, but if the person performing oral sex has a cut in the mouth, they can get HIV, if the man has HIV.

Best way to prevent HIV while performing oral sex is to use a condom.
1) To put it bluntly, yes....

2) However the chances are low as oral sex carries less risk.

3) Stomach acid (Hydrocloric acid pH2) is very inhospitable to microbes. Not to mention saliva contains lysozomes that lyses the membrane of microbes.

4) Unless you have bleeding gums, ulser in mouth or stomach...you should be pretty safe.

5) But I would recommend a HIV test to put your mind at ease. (3 to 6 months after 1st exposure)

Hope that helps.
no:) I've never heard of human immunodeficiency virus in sperm. Jesus Christ people - what kind of world you live in to ask these types of questions? Educate yourselves and stop listening to the mainstream nonsense - it won't take you far
yes, contact with infected body fluid is enough

Answer 3

yes

Yes, it can. Any transfer of body fluids, such as semen or blood, can cause spread an STD. A: Well it can't CAUSE an STD, but if the guy has an STD then he can spread it to you. You don't have to swallow his semen to get the STD. you can get it by getting any bit of semen or pre-cum in your mouth. It can enter your system through mucus membranes or if you have any bleeding gums. (That's why you shouldn't brush your teeth for a while before or after oral sex.) Actually, if you get the semen in your mouth then you've already been exposed to it. At that point swallowing won't make your chances of catching something any more likely. Your stomach acid is more than strong enough to kill anything in it. If you know the guy has no STDs, then eat all you want!

Yes, it is possible.

Yes and HIV

Any contact with bodily fluids may be sufficient to pass on some STDs.

Taking semen into the mouth would be sufficient - let alone swallowing it.

We need to be very sure of the health of our sexual partners before we allow ourselves unprotected sexual contact with them.

Answer Yes - in fact the life cycle of HIV/STDs is in semen for instance.

STDs are spread through contact with infected body fluids, such as blood, vaginal fluids, or semen. They can also be spread through contact with infected skin or mucous membranes, like sores in the mouth. You may be exposed to infected body fluids and skin through vaginal, anal or oral sex if you don't correctly use a latex condom. Anal sex is very risky because it usually causes bleeding. Sharing needles or syringes for drug use, ear piercing, tattooing, etc. can also expose you to infected fluids.

Most STDs are only spread through direct sexual contact with an infected person. However, pubic lice and scabies can be spread through close personal contact with an infected person, or with infested clothes, sheets, or towels.

Yes any contact with genitals can transmit an STD where a partner has an infection.

Only if you have a STD can a girl be affected by this.

Any human produced liquid that contains DNA has the potential to transmit a STD ... that would include sperm ...

It depends on the STD. Herpes? Easily transmitted to oral cavity (mouth) as are cankers, human papilloma virus. Viruses are permanent, but bacterial infections can be treated. Getting looked at by a Dr. is paramount. The quicker the diagnosis the quicker healing &/or treatment

Answer 4

No. Sperm in itself will not give you herpes. However, the position you put yourself in that gave you access to that sperm is a different story all together. In other words, if you gave oral sex to your partner who has herpes, then you are putting yourself at risk of contracting the disease yourself. Use protection, either a condom or dam. The risk can be very high if nothing is used.

Answer 5

All of the sexually transmitted diseases.
HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis A/B/C, Herpes (all), syphillis, gonorhhea ...and that's just for starters...
assuming you had oral sex to swallow the sperm and you are not just drinking from a cup you could get HPV, HIV, chlamydia, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, gonorrhea. A: But only if the guy you are sucking has any of those things in the first place. And I know that with HIV the chance of contracting it orally is MUCH lower than if you had unprotected anal sex (the riskiest) or vaginal sex (the second riskiest) with him. Its also important that the risk of getting any of those comes from just sucking the penis. The risk is lower if you don't let him ejaculate in your mouth, but there is still a risk because they can be spread through the pre-cum that oozes out while you suck him. But if you let him ejaculate in your mouth anyway, then you have already been exposed and there is no further risk in swallowing the sperm because they will not survive in the stomachs acid.
A woman can get STDs from oral sex. Swallowing or not swallowing doesn't affect the risk very much.
Sort of. It's not the actual swallowing that'll give you the STD, but the genital-to-mouth action going on before that.
Every disease you can get vaginally you can also get orally so all of them.
All of them.
Froma healthy male - none. But if the man is already carrying a disease( and there are plenty to chose from) then the woman can catch it. Doesn't have to wait for the sperm though, she can pick it up eariler.

Answer 6

Yes; you can become infected with chlamydia in the throat from the exposure to the bacteria.

Answer 7

No. You would have to have one already.
