Precum and gumsAug 17, 2013 So we were in a sauna and I licked this guy's penis. I tasted pre-cum when I licked the body of the penis. I didn't licked the tip. I felt like there was an open wound in my gums at that time. Could I have contracted HIV in that way? |

![]() | Response from Mr. GlennThanks for your question, Oral sex is considered low risk for HIV, but this doesn't sound exactly like oral sex.. Let me explain: To get HIV, there needs to a body fluid (e.g. blood, semen/pre-cum, breast milk, vaginal fluid) carrying HIV that comes out of someone's body and goes immediately/directly inside of someone else's body. All this needs to happen. But you need to keep in mind that the mouth is not a good way to get or give HIV. Then you're talking about a very low amount of pre-cum. I'm curious what you think were open wounds in your mouth. These would need to be serious and significant, not just an irritated area. But even if it were a significant wound, there was hardly any fluid to infect. So when we look at all that together the risk seems incredibly unlikely. Hope this helps! Erik | ||||||||
