Hello,
Thank for the query.
Although oral sex is considered as a relatively low risk activity as compared to vaginal or anal sex but it is possible to transmit various sexually transmitted diseases.
Diseases which can be transmitted by oral sex are..
HIV,HEPRES,HPV,GONORRHOEA,CHLAMYDIA,SYPHILIS,and research is inconclusive regarding HEPATITIS B ,whether hepatitis B can be transmitted by oral sex or not.
However HEPATITIS B can be prevented by proper vaccination.
I hope it helps you ,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
