Nntp-Posting-Host: squid.cs.ucla.edu Archive-Number: 2780 This is a difficult subject. However, there is a solid body of professional, peer-reviewed literature that contradicts this. The only reports of oral transmission thus far received have been in the popular press, not the professional. It is the opinion of several big names in HIV that oral behaviors bear a substantial risk, but no one has been able to demonstrate that in epidemiologic study. Incidentally, self-reports of socially unacceptable behaviors have been shown for decades to be wildly inaccurate. ---------------------- Replied Message Body ---------------------- Date: 12-2-90 3:18pm From: {aids@cs.ucla.edu}:unix:niaid To: bill barrick:10:niaid Subj: (2778) WARNING: re: ORAL SEX Also-to: multiple recipients of list aids -------------------------------------------------------------------- >From: v069paxq@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu (Christophe Scozzaro) Newsgroups: sci.med.aids Approved: phil@wubios.wustl.edu Subject: WARNING: re: ORAL SEX Sender: news@acsu.buffalo.edu Reply-To: v069paxq@ubvmsb.cc.buffalo.edu Date: 2 Dec 90 21:22:53 GMT Organization: University at Buffalo Note: Copyright 1990 by Daniel R.
