Diseases That Can Be Transmitted Through Oral Sex

Is it possible that someone gets infected with any sexually transmitted diseases (STD) due to oral sex? Yes, very much possible, many STD like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis etc. can be transferred through oral sex. However, one can protect himself/herself from getting any STD by using a condom. As per the technical explanation oral sex is when someone touches his or her lips tongue or mouth to someone’s genital parts, anus, or area around these two. Many STD shows no symptoms.

     

Oral sex is a very much common sexual activity in sexually active adults , as per the results of various global and national level surveys more than 80% of sexually active adults and youth( 15- 50 years old) had oral sex at least once in their life till yet, it is a very much common love making technique in both heterosexuals as well as homosexuals, but very few people know that it(oral sex) can even transfer serious and deadly diseases cancer and HIV, for example, if the person whom with one is having sex have a cut on his/her lips or somewhere around the lips or anywhere inside the mouth, or on his/her genital part or area around the genital part the other person immediately get infected with HIV through the blood or the semen(cum) if they aren’t having protected sex. Secondly, if we take for example that one person among a sex having couple has any kind of gum or mouth cancer, genital cancer or any other mouth’s & genetical diseases, there is a very strong chance that another person who was fit and fine just a while ago, will get infected with the same disease. These chances of getting infected can only be reduced up to a certain level by having protected sex and controlled sex life.
