Flip side, if a woman has HIV and gives oral sex to a man, can she spread the virus via her saliva/mouth to him thru his seminal fluid?
In order for transmission to occur, the partner must be HIV positive (of course), bodily fluids that contain the virus must be present (saliva does not carry the virus in an infected individual) AND the person receiving this must have an open portal into their body for the virus to enter (i.e., an open cut or wound in the mouth in the case of receiving oral sex from an infected individual).
Simply having sexual fluids in ones mouth, swallowing sexual fluids does not transmit the virus to the person doing the swallowing (minus to presence of an open wound in the mouth or esophagus).
