It certainly couldn't hurt. Like washing your hands after using a public bathroom. I doubt there's any difinitive proof one way or the other...
 
Hard to get proof of that working or not that is reliable. There is no difference between spitting the semen out or swallowing though when it comes to risk of HIV. As stated, couldn't hurt to wash... but don't brush teeth right before or after as that can cause bleeding gum which could theoretically increase your risk.
 
I wish I could find the source, but there is some evidence that using mouthwash may actually not be a good idea after you've had receptive oral sex. Basically, mouthwash kills the natural bacteria present in your mouth which are part of your body's immune defense against other pathogens. Rinsing with water may be as or more effective, although in the end neither is probably likely to make much of a difference. Typically, the sex would already have been going on for a while, giving plenty of time for exposure.
 
the theory that disinfectant chemicals used as a mouthwash would kill HIV and thus protect you sounds very plausible.

however, there have been numerous studies on such "disinfectants" (biocides) and vaginal sex. They all end up causing increased transmission of HIV, not a reduction.

Even where those chemicals seem safe to use they end up causing microscopic irritation and this increases rather than decreases HIV transmission.

I would advise against using mouthwash (or alcohol) after oral sex for at least an hour or so.

It is true that alcohol and various mouthwash can cause irritation to the mouth, vagina etc. The point is that regular, continuous use of such liquids can indeed increase the risk of infection by drying out skin barriers, causing irritation etc.

But if you limit the use of mouthwash/high percentage alcohol to only after oral sex, the effect should be protective. HIV does not live for long outside the body, and rinsing with alcohol will destroy any virus particles long before the mouth tissues are irritated.

Faulty logic unsupported by trial data on biocides.

The mouth and vagina are never going to get "dried out". Irritation (microscopic) happens even with single use.



Why is everybody focussed on what they can do after sex to prevent HIV??

Why arent you working out what to do before sex to reduce your risk - know your health, know your partners health!
