Can STD Be Contracted Through Oral Sex?
Question: Hi,
A month ago, I had protected oral sex with an escort. I have no STI/HIV symptoms as such, but I just ate something which may have been contaminated and had two vomiting episodes and 3 diarrhea episodes over the course of two days. That would have more to do with potential food poisoning than any STI/HIV symptoms would it? I am asking because this happened a month later. Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Symptoms to look out for in your partner, and modes of transmission
Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.
Yes, the diarrhoea causes loss of fluids from the body which can result in dehydration which presents with generalised weakness and lethargy.
The risks are usually not always present because some individuals can be asymptomatic yet have an STD, but some of the symptoms include:
+Sore throat
+Sores in the mouth
+Sores around the oral cavity, on the lips
+Vaginal discharge
+Penile discharge
+Burning sensation while urinating
and a few others.
But modes of transmission include:
+Fellatio (oral to oral)
+Mouth to genital
+Genital to genital (rimming)
I hope this helps solve your query sir. Please do not hesitate to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
