Can std pass through saliva to penis after having oral sex ,and what is its chances of getting hiv

Thanks for your question. HIV is not transmitted through saliva. Oral sex is a very low risk activity for transmission of HIV. The person whose throat is exposed is the one who is most at risk. However unprotected oral sex is a very common way for syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia to be transmitted. You may find the Oral Sex Risk chart helpful at
