3. HIV can be transmitted during oral sex, This is TRUE answer. The reason is, if one of the partner is HIV positive and if he or she have sores or any wound in the mouth then HIV can be transmitted. Only certain body fluids such as blood, semen (cum), pre-seminal fluid (pre-cum), rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, from a person who has HIV can transmit HIV. These fluids must come in contact with a mucous membrane or damaged tissue or be directly injected into the bloodstream for transmission to occur. Mucous membranes are found inside the rectum, vagina, penis, and mouth.
