Anybody else have anything to add? a second opinion would be greatly appreciated
No, STD's are not transmitted that way. If so, a hand-shaking with a person who touched his/her genital before (sorry for the disgusting example) would spread syphilis or other STD's, but it doesn't . I recommend you to forget your worries and move on. If you don't develope a sore in your mouth in 2-4 weeks (a thing I would say you won't) you can say you are free. If you still keep worrying, test at 5-6 weeks (sorry I don't remember the right timelime for testing) and you can expect negative results. I am speaking in conditional because I can't say you havr nothing with 100% accurancy, even a real doctor would speak in the same terms. Use condoms for any sexual activity and you'll be fine (maybe for homosexual relations the risks are somehow present even with condom, but I don't have more information about that). Thank you for your kind words and I am very glad help you. Take care!
Ok, to clarify, I did not see any sores around his genetalia. Also, if I was masturbating him before the protected oral and then resumed masturbating myself after, could that friction transfer to my hand and then to my genetalia? Even if you're not a doctor I appreciate and respect your insight, and any information you can give me
You're welcome. I am not a doctor so I can't say whether or not anybody caught herpes or syphilis from a activity like yours, but I doubt it. Firstly, if you didn't see a sore on the non-covered part of your partner' genitals, don't worry. Secondly, syphilis bacteria needs some continuate friction between the sore and the skin. You didn't touch his bare skin, did you? So you were not at risk of syphilis! And lastly syphilitic sores outside the condom covered part of a male genitals are sooo rare. Talk to a doctor and he/she will give you and expert opinon. I don't want to pretend to be a doctor and mislead you, but I doubt you got syphilis. Regarding herpes I would tell it's pretty much the same, but I have no information for that disease. Good luck!
thanks alex. i pretty much thought the same thing, but i wasn't sure if anyone could actually tell me if they've ever heard of someone getting herpes/syphilis from giving protected oral. again, thank you
Oral sex + condom protected + very brief exposure = Nothing to worry about
