Question
can any one get infected by HIV by having only oral or anal sex.
Yes, having unprotected anal and oral sex can put someone at risk of contracting HIV. Unprotected anal sex carries more risk than unprotected vaginal sex which carries more risk than unprotected oral sex. Always use a condom and dental dam to protect yourself.
