	I know that there have been several replies to this posting
already, however, several of these referred to *oral sex*. Is the risk
the same for fellatio and cunnilingus? Does the risk increase
significantly for cunnilingus during mmenstruation (or, to rephrase the question,
what are the risk factors associated with the various bodily fluids)?
The (government) agencies in England seem to class oral sex as `low
risk', I cannot remember hearing about the risk factors associated
with rimming.
