See answer: Several STDs, including HIV, herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, HPV, chlamydia, and viral hepatitis can be passed on through oral sex. Though oral sex is generally "safer sex", it is not "safe sex". Regarding chlamydia transmission and fellatio (BJ) oral sex, the female is at greater risk of being infected. However, though the risk may be quite low, a female with throat chlamydia could infect the male.
