If I, lets say, kissed a person who has oral herpes, or drank from the same cup as the person, how long would it take for me to experience any symptoms relating to Oral Herpes (cold sore, etc)?

Although oral sex has the lowest HIV risk activity, particularly in comparison to vaginal and anal intercourse, it still has a significant possibility of transmitting the disease. The use of protective aids such as a latex, polyurethane condoms, vaginal condoms and dental dams are effective measures to significantly reduce the risk factor involved in virus transmission when performing oral sex. If you opt to engage in oral sex without the use of protection, you should understand that the risk of transmitting HIV increases for the person performing the act if there is presence of an open wound or sores in the oral cavity. If ejaculation occurs in the mouth, the person performing the oral act is at greatest risk of contracting any kind of sexually transmitted disease that the individual receiving felatio has and is of a high risk for infection. when it comes to oral sex, the biggest risk taker for HIV transference is for the person performing the act. Clinically speaking, unless the candidate has generous amounts of blood and excretion in her/his mouth the receptive partner is unlikely to contract the disease.
