Is the following statement true?
They go on to say that this is passed on thru BBBJ...
Oral Sex and STI risk:
The most common infections that can be transmitted via oral sex are gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes and possibly chlamydia.
• Gonorrhea and Chlamydia a found in the back of the throat. Gonorrhea is more commonly spread via oral sex than Chlamydia.
• Syphilis sores can be in the mouth, throat or on the lips and are spread by direct contact which can occur with oral sex
• Herpes can be passed through oral sex, but the sores are more commonly found on the lips rather than in the throat
It is not uncommon to notice no symptoms with all of the above mentioned STI’s (sexually transmitted infections). That is why getting tested regularly is recommended.
HIV risk:
STI’s such as herpes or syphilis can increase the risk of HIV.
Generally the risk of infection is related to an open sore from an outbreak, which can happen with herpes and syphillis. Open sores contain pus which will have high concentrations of HIV. Open sores make it easier for HIV to enter the bloodstream.
Infections such as Gonorrhoea and Chlamydia may increase risk because of inflammation and pus that can be present during infection.
Generally oral sex is lower risk for HIV but factors such as sores, throat infections and bleeding gums may increase risk
Hope that answers your questions
