HIV is passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood contact or by unprotected sexual activity. In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their babies during pregnancy or delivery, as well as through breast feeding. 

People become infected with HIV from these bodily fluids:
blood, semen, pre-cum, vaginal fluids and breast milk.

]]> “If a woman with HIV gives you oral sex will you get HIV?”

While it would be rare to become infected from having oral sex with someone infected with HIV/AIDS, we do know that transmission is through body fluids. If the infected person had bleeding gums or a mouth sore, blood may be transmitted to the partner’s mucus membranes.

If you are a male, my advice is that you wear a condom during oral sex.
For females having sex with females, the use of dental dams or plastic wrap will aide in prevention of sexually transmitted infections.

The CDC has a great web site on HIV transmission. I have included the web address: https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/qa/transmission.htm
