 Well, it's different, and it's not. It's different because you have a vagina, and that can mean different things in terms of transmission of sexually transmitted infections. However, it's not different in terms of receiving oral sex because there is no evidence that anyone gets infected when receiving oral sex or through kissing. This is because you are exposed to saliva, which is not a fluid that is implicated in transmission. See http://thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SafeSex/Archive/TransmissionSexual/Q99072.html for more info.
