Questions about unprotected cunnilingus
Hello,
About 9 days ago, I stupidly gave a CSW unprotected oral sex (I am male; she is female) twice. She gave me protected oral sex once. There was no penetration. I remember there being ejaculate from her, but I was heavily drunk, so I cannot recall how long I was performing cunnilingus or if she ejaculated the first or second time. There may have been outside touching of the penis to vagina while we were laying in the bed, but there was no penetration.
I have read some previous posts from this forum from like 10 years ago that unprotected cunnilingus is pretty safe. However, I described my situation to a technician at Planned Parenthood, and she told me that my chances of contracting something from giving unprotected cunnilingus is 40% contracting to 60% not contracting.
1. Has there been recent research stating that giving unprotected cunnilingus is much riskier that previously thought?
2.The technician also told me that chlamydia and gonorrhea are localized to the throat, but syphilis can spread to the genitals even if you contract it through the throat. Is this accurate?
3. If I do have an STI in the throat, can I pass it through vaginal or anal sex?
4. The tests Planned Parenthood offers is a blood test and a urine test. Will those catch chlamydia and gonorrhea in the throat as well?
Thank you guys for the help and maintaining and contributing to this forum!

This was all at a Planned Parenthood? I'm surprised, because some of the info you got was terrible. I hope you just misunderstood it.
1. Has there been recent research stating that giving unprotected cunnilingus is much riskier that previously thought?
No. There is a risk, but it's small.
2.The technician also told me that chlamydia and gonorrhea are localized to the throat, but syphilis can spread to the genitals even if you contract it through the throat. Is this accurate?
Syphilis becomes a systemic infection after stage 1, which is the sore you'd have in the mouth, and you'd get a rash on your body. You'd not then get sores on your genitals, though.
3. If I do have an STI in the throat, can I pass it through vaginal or anal sex?
No.
4. The tests Planned Parenthood offers is a blood test and a urine test. Will those catch chlamydia and gonorrhea in the throat as well?
No. A syphilis blood test finds syphilis anywhere, but a urine test will not find gonorrhea or chlamydia in the throat. You'd need a throat swab that specifically tests for those.

Like AJ said there is a risk so it is small. A lot smaller than if you gave oral to a male.
The STIs live inside the vagina itself not out the outside so (without sounding wrong) it would depend how far you put your tongue in which may increase the risk.
But also with that, saliva is not a good host for STIs and helps to get rid of them before they take hold - which happens at the BACK of your throat.
If you look at that logically it massively reduces any risk you may have had.
In lieu of symptoms I wouldnt worry but again like AJ said if you test it must be a swab for the oral varieties and blood test for syphilis (the risk of this is really super small).

Thank you guys for the advice. I double checked with whomever I spoke with to make sure we understood her correctly. I was caught a bit off guard because even other websites that have tried to quantify the risk do not put it anywhere near what I was told.
I will take a swab test just to be sure (I'm a little paranoid).
Thanks again!
