Oral sex hiv transmission from mouth
I've heard of risk of HIV infection from unprotected oral sex if there are cuts and bruises and sores on the mouth from the penis. My query is, in case of unprotected oral sex is there chance of getting infection from the mouth to the penis if the penis is found to have bruises?

Yes theoretically there is chance of infection which is less then 1 percent. So to be on safer side, you check for HIV after 40-60 days
