Propagation of these parasites, every 8 to 12 hours, therefore, the infection spreads quickly, once the parasitic infection squamous epithelium lining the reproductive tract. During the incubation period ranging from 4-28 days, the infection is likely to continue for a long time women, but the extension to a maximum of 10 days in the male.

In oral sex, saliva and semen are the two most interaction between the liquid. This can not but make people worry oral sex infected with the HIV virus. In some cases, were also present in the blood, if adequate safety measures have not done so. If for example, the gift oral sex with a wound in the mouth, semen and blood will be exposed to. This is a direct mode of transmission. On the other hand, if they do not have wound, as well as some in the private sector, saliva alone can not transfer HIV and the spread of AIDS. The inhibitory factor exists in saliva responsible for this good work. According to some studies, the University of Texas in the United States, the factor inhibiting the white blood cells (lymphocytes), from being infected with the HIV virus infection.
Oral sex, low-risk transmission, in particular through saliva. Studies have shown that HIV isolated from the human virus type Ⅰ oral liquid. Saliva of infected people is a mixed virus. Mixture, and then incubated for an hour. Saliva protection, using all means, the white blood cells infected with the formation of the base defense mechanism. This clearly sends a message that not only contain HIV saliva, but there is not a good medium for replication. The more you want the link between oral sex infected with the HIV virus. Experimental process, saliva diluted by 50%, but still maintain the strength of inhibition.
Through saliva oral sex be removed from the list of activities which can transmit HIV and AIDS credit to inhibitory factor. This displays the common characteristics of a drug. Saliva actually can be studied in order to reveal its development potential, and formed a anti-virus products. Circumstances, HIV and the spread of AIDS is linked to saliva, it is not through oral sex. In many cases, oral sex and on the conclusions of HIV is relatively low risk, in order to contract the virus through oral sex. They are an example, where HIV-positive mothers free infant HIV infections. "How," said many people may not know, but the mother of cracks on pacifiers and teething process, the baby may be root causes of the mode of transmission.
