I had heard that rumour as well....so i did some searching, and never found any evidence of it being true.
but it is proven helpful for tooth and gum diseases.
regular mouthwash help loosen plaque n aid in removing it by brushing. chlorohexidine mouthwash is antimicrobial. it'll kill all bacteria in ur mouth. but does stain ur teeth in longterm use n probably cause 2nd infection like fungal one.
no scientific evidence supporting mouthwash causing cancer. just urban myth.

your mouth does have some protection against germs, but not if you have an open wound (from flossing or brushing or cankers) -- in that case, nothing you rinse with would have any effect anyway because the germs, viruses etc are already into your blood stream.Gandlaf said:
best to use a dental dam and refrain from brushing/flossing before oral.
In relation to the original question
“Does mouthwash and rinse destroy or remove possible disease from oral?”
I have looked for research out there and have found no study that has examined the effects of mouthwash and decreased risk from oral sex.
Some important factors in HIV transmission are the amount of virus that is present, how long you are exposed to this virus, and your own health.
Most health information related to HIV transmission takes them into consideration when recommending safer practices.
The Canadian HIV/AIDS Clearinghouse, which is a program with the Canadian Public Health Association, provides some recommendations for safer oral sex:
• Try to avoid getting body fluids in your mouth
• After oral sex, rinse with water or an anti-bacterial mouthwash
• There’s no evidence that spitting is more or less risky than swallowing—it is clear, however, that the longer infected fluids remain in the mouth, the more possible it is for infection to occur.
These recommendations suggest there is no difference between the use of water or mouthwash to rinse. It is more important to get the (possibly) infectious fluid out of your mouth quickly, than it is to rinse with any specific product.
