Oral stimulation of the female genitalia , especially the clitoris , by a male or female partner for sexual pleasure or for orgasm . CAUTION: Oral sex between disease-free people is not risky.

Since HIV may be contained in the seminal and vaginal fluids of an HIV-infected person, protection in the form of a latex-condom with spermicide (preferably nonoxynol-9) is recommended for fellatio and a dental-dam or latex barrier should be used for cunnilingus . It isn't easy for HIV to get-into the bloodstream through the mouth unless that the mouth contains cuts , sores, or recent dental work . No cases have been reported yet of people being infected with HIV by having oral-sex performed on them. See cunnilingus for synonyms.
