    This 1996 article from Body and Society examines how oral sex practices relate to conceptions of the body and HIV risk. It analyzes interviews with people in Australia that show oral sex is seen as less intimate than vaginal or anal sex, with the mouth viewed as separate from the body. However, public health messages framing oral sex as carrying HIV risk challenge these notions. The article explores how people negotiate their understandings of bodies and sexuality in light of medical knowledge about disease transmission.
