Checking a number of websites this is the info I found
http://www.ashasexualhealth.org/stdsstis/oral-sex-stis/ Can someone be infected with a sexually transmitted infection (STI) from oral sex?
Yes. Many STIs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, can be spread through oral sex. However, the chances of giving or getting STIs during oral sex can be lowered by using a condom or dental dam.

Re HIV
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/riskbehaviors/oralsex.html
Even though oral sex carries a lower risk of HIV transmission than other sexual activities, the risk is not zero. It is difficult to measure the exact risk because people who practice oral sex may also practice other forms of sex during the same encounter. When transmission occurs, it may be the result of oral sex or other, riskier sexual activities, such as anal or vaginal sex.
If the person receiving oral sex has HIV, their blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, or vaginal fluid may contain the virus. If the person performing oral sex has HIV, blood from their mouth may enter the body of the person receiving oral sex through the lining of the urethra (the opening at the tip of the penis), vagina, cervix, or anus, or through cuts and sores.
Several factors may increase the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex, including oral ulcers, bleeding gums, genital sores, and the presence of other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Once semen gets past the mouth, stomach acid and enzymes in the esophagus kill the virus. So swallowing or spitting out semen (cum or precum) reduces your risk for HIV, compared with letting it sit in your mouth.
A popular jingle is:
Spit or Swallow, Don’t Let it Wallow.
To reduce your risk even more, make sure you keep the mucous membranes in your mouth healthy – don’t perform oral for about 45 minutes after you brush your teeth, floss, or engage in any other aggravating oral behavior, and not at all when you have open sores.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen should we brush our teeth and have the minty fresh breath the ladies want ? And if there is still a risk of HIV and other STD's from oral sex than why do the girls do bbj yet cfs. Unless they are using the condom as an additional layer against pregnancy the damage may already be done. And a few of our providers are also post menopausal who will also do bbj and insist on cfs, The damage is most likely done.
Consider this as well: Houston has a higher rate than other similar size cities. Maybe we should check how many ECCIE providers in those cities do anything uncovered. I'll be number is substantially lower
