Contrary to popular belief, oral sex is not a completely safe alternative to vaginal or anal sex. Chlamydia, human papillomavirus (HPV), gonorrhea, herpes, hepatitis (multiple strains), and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) — including HIV — can be transmitted through oral sex.[14]. However transmission of HIV through fellatio or cunnilingus is relatively rare. Any kind of direct contact with body fluids of a person infected with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS) should be avoided. In 2005, a research study at the College of Malmö in Sweden suggested that performing unprotected oral sex on a person infected with HPV might increase the risk of oral cancer .[15] The risk from most of these types of infection, however, is generally considered far lower than that associated with vaginal or anal sex.
Furthermore, oral sex should be avoided when either partner has wounds or open sores on the genitals or mouth, or bleeding gums in the mouth, or has recently brushed, flossed, undergone dental work, or eaten crunchy foods such as potato chips, all of which can cause small scratches in the lining of the mouth. These wounds, even when they are microscopic, increase the chances of contracting STDs that can be transmitted orally under these conditions. Such contact can also lead to more mundane infections from common bacteria and viruses found in, around and secreted from the genital regions. Because of this, many medical professionals advise the use of condoms in the performance of fellatio (flavoured condoms are available for this purpose) and the use of plastic or latex sheets (dental dams or ordinary plastic wrap) for cunnilingus, although the latter has failed to achieve the same level of widespread use as condoms.

in the adventure that your companion has NO stds or something,there is not any way you will get an STD by using oral intercourse,till your companion is untrue.STDs come from human beings.in the adventure that your companion cheated on you with somebody that became contaminated with an STD,then you definately danger getting one.I dont understand who instructed you that oral intercourse continuously reasons STDs in spite of if it sounds like it became somebody who in simple terms needs to scare you out of having intercourse.in case you understand for useful which you and your companion don't have STDs then you definately at the instant are not in danger.Do get examined although,in simple terms on the grounds which you cant see something or sense something does not mean there is not something there,some STDs haven't any indications or indications.

Yes, he may have an STD if his mother had one when she was pregnant with him. He may just not know it. Also, make sure he is telling you the truth. It's always best just to use protection.
