I typed that sentence of yours into Google, and the link you provide was the 9th entry to come up, so obviously you began your search expressly looking for a contrary opinion.
The 1st Google link to appear is from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/qa/qa19.htm), where it is written:
"Yes, it is possible for either partner to become infected with HIV through performing or receiving oral sex. There have been a few cases of HIV transmission from performing oral sex on a person infected with HIV.While no one knows exactly what the degree of risk is, evidence suggests that the risk is less than that of unprotected anal or vaginal sex."
The second link from your Google search is also from the Center for Disease Control (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/Factsheets/pdf/oralsex.pdf) and states:
"The risk of HIV transmission from an infected partner through oral sex is much less than the risk of HIV transmission from anal or vaginal sex."
Which is exactly what everyone, except kruptionk, has written in this thread. If you had read those posts, you would know that no one is saying that HIV transmission via oral sex is impossible. One can also say it's possible to get AIDS from DFK - if both you and the HIV positive girl have open cuts in your mouths. All sorts of weird shit is possible. We have only said that it is rare, certainly much rarer than via BB vag sex.
Your link is to Wiki Answers which is "user generated content" so who is the source of this info? (Actually, I could create an account right now, sign in to Wiki Answers and write anything I wanted on the subject.) Click on the 'disclaimer' link in the upper right corner where you will be taken to a page where it says:
"While Answers makes every effort to present accurate and reliable information in its Services, Answers does not endorse, approve, or certify such information, nor does it guarantee the accuracy, completeness, efficacy, timeliness, or correct sequencing of such information."
That doesn't inspire much confidence does it?
But even so, I quote from your linked article:
DATY: "Female is HIV positive and gets sucked: A small chance of virus from vaginal fluids going into bloodstream through cuts and sores in the mouth. Bad teeth and infected gums can catch the virus. Not dangerous if the mouth is healthy. "
"Yes you can. Its definitely lower risk than unprotected sex, but yes."
"Although some sources will tell you that the risks of transmission through oral sex are minimal; other studies have suggested that as many as ten percent of HIV transmissions could have occurred through oral sex." (I can't find any references to this 10% anywhere on the web, by the way.)
"Yes, this is possible but rare. For instance, if there are cuts or sores in the mouth and there is a transfer of blood, AIDS transfer is a possibility."
"HIV usually can't be spread by oral sex. The virus has to pass into your bloodstream. If you have terrible teeth and your gums are all bleeding then you shouldn't be sucking any strange penises or vaginas. "
These comments were obviously written by many different "users" all expressing their personal opinions, but even so, I see nothing to contradict what we have been saying.
And you're being a bit disingenuous concerning your reasons for quitting the English forums aren't you bro? You gathered up your marbles and went off in a huff to the Chinese side because the Admins took away your Mod privileges for abuse of power.
