Hey if you give head, what STDs or STIs can you get?
Biggest risk would be herpes- oral herpes is typically just a cold sore during times of stress or lowered immune system- so not too concerning
BUT you can also get gnorrhea of the throat by giving head
and Chlamydia can also infect your throat
HIV and HPV are possible to obtain during oral sex but its very very unlikely
so to sum it up- Gnorrhea, Chlamydia, and Herpes are very commonly passed through oral sex
to reduce your risks of getting an STI consider oral contraception
and also limiting exposure to semen (so not swallowing) can lower your risk of contracting HIV through oral sex
I hope this answered your questions.

You can get every single STD with oral. You don't get HIV through swallowing semen. You get it from having cuts and abrasions in your mouth which is normal if you brush your teeth.

no you actually cannot get EVERY std from giving head.... some stds cannot infect you through the throat or mouth...

and yes it is through cuts and abrasions BUT just FYI you obtain HIV through the transfer of bodily fluids..... so if the semen does not go in your mouth where you might have cuts you are lowering your risk of HIV through oral sex....

You can still get HIV if your don't allow semen in your mouth. Precum would have the virus in it and it's impossible to tell when a guy has precum if you're giving him oral.

and for the third time.... you are LOWERING your risk of HIV through oral if you limit or do not swallow.... I am not nor did I ever say if you dont swallow you wont get it... Im saying your chances are DECREASED.... and besides the chance of obtaining HIV through oral is already soo so slim... but it is a known fact that not swallowing reduces your already low chance of HIV through oral....

Can you comprehend? You are talking about swallowing (or not swallowing) semen. I'm talking about precum and that the virus is still transmittable through abrasions in the mouth. I got you the first time you said it. Back to the point I'm not writing this for you but for the OP giving them all the facts that they need. You on the other had seem to be under the impression that I'm writing this to try and correct you. So please stay on the subject at hand and stop trying to correct my already correct statements.
