Oral sex not as safe as you might think
(Stanford Daily)
According to student volunteers at the Sexual Health Peer Resource Center at Vaden, there are many risks associated with unprotected oral sex. Some STDs that are passed on from oral sex include oral herpes, chlamydia of the throat, yeast infection, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis A and E, HIV, and in rare cases HPV, which can be transmitted as blisters on the vocal cords.
Some of these STDs are more common than others. According to Senior Elise Hunter, co-director of the SHPRC, the two most common STDs passed through oral contact are Herpes I and II, and chlamydia.
A common misconception is that Herpes I is restricted to the oral area and Herpes II is restricted to the genital region. In reality, the two can appear in either location. HIV is a fatal disease that can be transmitted through oral contact. The risk is increased if the person giving oral stimulation has sores in his or her mouth.
In terms of STD risks, oral sex is about as dangerous as sexual intercourse without a condom.

In terms of STD risks, oral sex is about as dangerous as sexual intercourse without a condom.
To keep safe, there are many options. The best way to prevent STDs is to use protective barriers such as condoms or dental dams, which are little squares of latex that can be spread over genitals during oral sex. Most barriers are made of latex or polyurethene, and many flavored varieties are made specifically for oral sex.
Also, never have sex during breakouts, symptomatic of viruses such as HPV and Herpes. You should also wait for curable infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis to clear up before you engage in any sexual activity.
