HEALTH: ONE STUDY FINDS AIDS VIRUS TRANSMITTED ORALLY.
By Katrina Woznicki
EDGEWATER, NJ., December 21 2004 (WOMENSENEWS) The AIDS virus spreads very quickly after oral exposure, according to a new study of monkeys. If confirmed, the finding could be of grave consequence to women and girls around the globe who breastfeed or engage in unprotected oral sex.
The virus that causes AIDS spreads surprisingly fast throughout the head and neck after oral exposure--either through breastfeeding or semen--and may result in a greater number of infections than previously believed, according to new research.
The findings--preliminary until confirmed by other investigators--could have major health implications for women and girls worldwide. Many women have no other choice but to breastfeed their babies (and breastfeeding is the best method in most cases to maximize the women's and the infants' health) and many may not have sexual partners willing to wear protection against the virus, such as condoms, during oral…
