“…These reports have implicated oral contact with female (50-54) and male genital fluids (55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69), oral-anal contact (50), and oral-oral contact (70). Accuracy of sexual history reporting has been called into question, and oral exposure rarely occurred in the absence of other exposures (61,(71)(72)(73). However, one transmission pair, where both individuals independently reported only oral-genital contact, was confirmed by viral sequencing (69).…”

Summary The global spread of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is dependent on the ability of this virus to efficiently cross from one host to the next by traversing a mucosal membrane. Unraveling how mucosal exposure of HIV results in systemic infection is critical for the development of effective therapeutic strategies. This review focuses on understanding the immune events associated with the oral route of transmission (via breastfeeding or sexual oral intercourse), which occurs across the oral and/or gastrointestinal mucosa. Studies in both humans and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) monkey models have identified viral changes and immune events associated with oral HIV/SIV exposure. This review covers our current knowledge of HIV oral transmission in both infants and adults, the use of SIV models in understanding early immune events, oral immune factors that modulate HIV/SIV susceptibility (including mucosal inflammation), and interventions that may impact oral HIV transmission rates. Understanding the factors that influence oral HIV transmission will provide the foundation for developing immune therapeutic and vaccine strategies that can protect both infants and adults from oral HIV transmission.

“…Although lesbians are in a statistically low risk group, safe sex guidelines should not be omitted from their midwifery care. Anecdotal reports of HIV transmission via cunnilingus have appeared and lesbians may be at risk from previous male partners, IV drug exposure or artificial insemination by an untested donor 14 . No studies exist regarding the protection conferred by dental dams and they are more difficult to obtain than condoms.…”
