	Is Oral Sex Safe?
		Sex captures the attention of the news media so that while medical conferences don’t get much coverage in the lay press, a paper challenging the popular view about the safety of oral sex did get a few headlines.
		Such a paper got the inevitable reaction from the news media that oral sex is unsafe, whereas the study authors concluded that "oral sex may be an important mode of transmission due to its frequency" but that "standardized investigation of HIV transmission via oral sex is needed".
		That did not mean that oral sex was not a risk but the study could not show the relationship of transmission with oral sex whereas it could for anal sex.

	Oral Sex risk and AIDS prevention for gay men by Walt Odets.
		To simply identify oral sex as the "risk factor" for these three men is comparable to identifying automobiles as the risk factor in drunk driving.
		Yet, the Samuel study continues to be cited as proof by the minority that insists that oral sex is dangerous or risky, or implies that it is by recommending the routine use of condoms.
		Unprotected oral sex is not a realistic basis for feeling hopeless about remaining uninfected, and the man who has unprotected oral sex should not feel hopeless and abandon protected receptive anal sex.

	Oral Sex (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The failure to define oral sex as sexual activity is placing adolescents and young adults at an increased risk for sexually transmitted infections (STI’s) and HIV.

	Oral sex can cause throat cancer - 09 May 2007 - New Scientist
		People who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancer than those who do not have oral sex, a new study suggests.
		The researchers believe this is because oral sex may transmit human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus implicated in the majority of cervical cancers.
		After controlling for other risk factors for throat cancer, such as drinking and smoking, the analysis revealed that people who had prior infection with HPV were 32 times as likely to have this cancer as those with no evidence of ever having the virus.

	In Focus: Examining Oral Sex — teenwire.com
		Many teens are thinking about oral sex, and a new study by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) found that more than half of U.S. teens ages 15 to 19 have done it — a much higher number than earlier studies had shown.
		Since abstinence-only education doesn't teach about safer sex, many teens may not be aware of how to reduce their risk of infection during oral sex.
		But according to the NCHS study, guys are giving and receiving oral sex at about the same rate as girls — even if they don't always tell their friends about it.

	HIV and Oral sex
		Although there are only limited USA data about how often adolescents engage in oral sex, some data suggest that many adolescents who engage in oral sex do not consider it to be sex; therefore they may use oral sex as an option to experience sex while still, in their minds, remaining abstinent.
		In addition, since most sexually active individuals practice oral sex in addition to other forms of sex, such as vaginal and/or anal sex, when transmission occurs, it is difficult to determine whether or not it occurred as a result of oral sex or other more risky sexual activities.
		Oral sex is still regarded as a low-risk sexual activity in terms of HIV transmission, but only when more work is done will we be clearer as to the risks of oral sex.

	American Social Health Association - Herpes Resource Center
		Oral herpes is transmitted through direct contact between the contagious area and broken skin (a cut or break) and mucous membrane tissue (such as the mouth or genitals).
		However, using a barrier (such as a dental dam) or condom when performing oral sex (even though there are no symptoms present around the mouth) can reduce the risk of contracting genital herpes.
		Oral herpes is commonly referred to as âcold soresâ and âfever blisters.â While symptoms of oral herpes most commonly appear on or around the lips, oral herpes is not always limited to this area.

	Transmission of Primary and Secondary Syphilis by Oral Sex --- Chicago, Illinois, 1998--2002
		Overall, 86 (13.7%) persons indicated that oral sex was their only sexual exposure during the period they likely acquired syphilis: 66 (20.3%) of 325 MSM, 10 (6.4%) of 157 heterosexual men, and 10 (6.9%) of 145 heterosexual women (p<0.0001) (Table).
		Because the risk for HIV transmission through oral sex is much lower than the risk through anal or vaginal sex (4), persons might mistakenly consider unprotected oral sex (i.e., without a condom) to be a safe or no-risk sexual practice and adopt oral sex as a replacement for higher-risk behaviors.
		Transmission was attributed to oral sex in only the 14% of cases in which oral sex was the only sexual exposure reported during the interval when syphilis likely was acquired.
