  According to TheSite.org itself...
  
  "The risk of contracting Aids through unprotected oral sex is thought to be much lower - but transmission is possible if semen, vaginal fluid or menstrual blood comes in contact with bleeding gums or mouth infections. You can protect yourself from HIV infection by using condoms..."
  
  So it says here

  Does that mean it can't through swallowing?

  Well, the semen does enter the system if you swallow it, so I reckon there's a risk there, but I can't say anything with certainty.

  In theory, yes it is a risk .. but HIV is quite an unstable virus and would never survive stomach acid etc .... so swallowing HIV cum is not neccessarily a dead cert to get HIV but the risk is there ....

  Put it this way, imagine eating chips and you accidently get a sharp one with scratches your mouth/throat and leaves a small cut. That would increase the chances of catching HIV.

  There's always a risk but my understanding is that stomach acid will destroy HIV.
  
  I wouldn't be worried about HIV, I'd be worried about all the others. Herpes in the back of the throat doesn't sound fun to me.
