Do STI increase oral risk?
Hello
I read online that having syphilis or another oral std can increase hiv risks from giving oral sex to a male.
I don’t know if I have syphilis or any other stds, but I’ve never been tested for them.
I have been tested for hiv multiple times, including recently 3 months after unprotected sex
However, I gave oral a month ago, and had a sore in my mouth, maybe a syphilis sore or canker i don’t know? I’ll get tested for STIs soon, but does the presence of sti increase hiv from giving oral? I wasn’t planning on getting tested for oral since it’s considered a low risk, but the std thing scares me.
