A member asked:
What if i give oral sex to someone that has proteus mirabilis? what would it infect? would it be able to travel all the way to my urinary tract?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oral sex and UTI: If you have oral sex with a person with a uti, you will not get a uti. The most common cause of a UTI in a woman is by having bacteria entering the bladder through the urethra. That would not happen during oral sex.
