What kind of stds an i am at risk of getting?
Brief Answer:
Several STIs may be possible through unprotected oral sex.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that several STI (sexually transmitted infections) may be possible even by unprotected oral sex, like: Chlamydia, genital herpes, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, syphilis, human papillomavirus, yeast infections, hepatitis, etc, though very low probability even HIV.
Probability of infection transmission will depend on several factors, like microbic load, oral hygiene and possible oral lesions, etc.
When performing unprotected oral sex, you can never be sure of that.
You need to discuss with a STD specialist for a more specific guide through possible laboratory testing.
Hope to have been helpful to you!
Feel free to ask me whenever you need! Greetings! Dr. Iliri
