Is oral sex a risk?
QUESTION:
I’m confused. I’m a bisexual male and have always used condoms for anal and vaginal sex. My worry is oral. I’ve received and performed oral sex without a condom, but after receiving information stating that oral is safe and there are no documented cases, I’ve recently been reading the opposite. All the information seems to be inconsistent. Is it or isn’t it a risk?

HIV and nail scratching and biting
QUESTION:
Sorry to bother you. I'm a postgraduate student in service and working as a lab technician in CDC in Anhui Province.
In my consolation and test work, I encounter a few policemen who were hurt by HIV-infected person. Also, in the world-famous Wenlou "AIDS" village in Henan province in China, more than one half of the villagers caught HIV through selling blood. Because of poverty, many HIV-infected villagers commit robbing and racketeering, making use of the people's fear of HIV. Some villagers even assault policemen when confronting them. So far more than one hundred policemen in Wenlou village have been hurt by assaultive HIV-infected villagers by nail scratch and biting. Almost all policemen hurt by HIV-infected person resorted to medical evaluation and asked for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP).
Here I want to ask what level of the risk is, and whether it is warranted when the policemen are only hurt by nail scratching by an HIV-infected person.
Your response based on scientific argument is much appreciated.... [More]
