Question 1

can chlamydia from receiving oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Chlamydia: Oral sex has potential to transmit a number of sti's. Herpes simplex, hiv, hpv, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis ; hepatitis can be spread via oral sex. Chlamydia can cause pharngeal/ throat infection when spread via oral sex. This isn't a common method of transmission. My understanding is that chlamydia isn't spread through saliva. I am not aware of chlamydia being spread oral to genital via saliva.

Question 2

would it be very likely for a man to get trichcomonsis and chlamydia from receiving oral sex?

Accepted Answer

No: No. Chlamydia is passed from the penis to the cervix or vise versa. The same is true for trichomonas.

Question 3

i was wondering if it is possible to contract chlamydia from receiving oral sex as a female? i had asked a nurse and she said no.

Accepted Answer

Contraction route: Unlikely transmission route but not impossible. If concerned both you and your partner should get tested.

Question 4

how likely is it for a man to contract chlamydia by receiving oral sex from a woman?

Accepted Answer

Mouth to penis CPR?: It is unlikely to transmit chlamydia unless the woman's mouth is already infected. In that case, it could produce a reaction(cpr). The mouth is rife with bacteria as opposed to the "cleaner" vagina, so before one "biblically knows" a partner, it is a great idea to know your partner well and remain monogamous.

Question 5

what are the odds (% wise) of a man contracting chlamydia when receiving oral sex. the infected person only has symptoms in their penis not throat. ?

Accepted Answer

Practically 0: Chamydia trachomatis is not thought to be an important cause of pharyngitis, therefore the risk of spread during active oral sex is practically 0. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Question 6

how likely is it to contract chlamydia or any other stds while giving/receiving unprotected oral sex?

Accepted Answer

Giving > receiving: Oral sex is one way to pass std though not as common as vaginal or anal intercourse. Herpes, hpv and syphilis are passed by mouth to skin contact. Gonorrhea, chlamydia and HIV are examples of disease passed by fluids. The fluid coming into contact with the tissue of the mouth and throat are how infections can occur. Condoms decrease risk.

Question 7

i always have protected anal sex receiving. how did i get chlamydia? i get fingered and rimmed bare sometimes. can i still have oral sex it's clean.

Accepted Answer

See remark: Chlamyia is transmiited by sexual contact from on partner to another..Avoid oral sex if you had anal sex with your partner at all cost.

Question 8

if chlamydia can be spread through oral sex then why cant it be spread through saliva as lube for a handjob? what's the difference? also why isnt it a risk from kissing but is a risk with receiving oral? trying to understand what makes it transmit?

Accepted Answer

: Your premise is wrong:  In fact, chlamydia is rarely spread by oral sex. It's understandable that you're confused on this; there is a whole lot of mistaken information online. But chlamydia rarely infects the mouth or throat, and when it does the organism is present in too small amounts to be passed by oral sex or kissing. CDC even recommends against ever testing for oral chlamydia. No worries!

Question 9

is it rare to contract chlamydia through oral sex?

Accepted Answer

No.: Less common than herpes, but can be transmitted orally to whoever is performing the oral sex.  Can  cause chlamydial pharyngitis!

Question 10

if you have oral sex with someone that has chlamydia, do you get it to?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it&#x27;s contagious: Chlamydia germs can also live on the throat, not just in the penis and in the vagina and cervix. The idea is to avoid oral sex with people carrying infections, until infections are cured by medications. If a person with a sore throat goes to see the doctor, he should tell the doctor if he has been doing oral sex because the antibiotic for strep throat is different from the one to treat chlamydia.
