Question
I am very new to sex, i licked the girl in her pussy, but i used condom before complete sex, i really dont know is she has HIV, i am scared i may be infected, what is the possibility of tranmission of HIV through licking
HIV can be transmitted anytime infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid and/or breast milk enter another person's body. In this case, vaginal fluid could have entered through your mouth, which puts you at risk. However, unprotected oral sex is the least risky (Unprotected anal sex is more risky than unprotected vaginal sex which is more risky than unprotected oral sex).
