Hi 

It is possible to get HIV when you give oral sex, but it is not commonly passed this way. Without ejaculation, the chance would be even lower. 

However, there are other STIs that can be passed through oral sex such as Chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis. You might want to check out our “Know my Chances” charts.

It is always a good idea to get regular testing if you are sexually active. The “STIs at a Glance” give you some information on when is the best time to get tested.
