What stis/stds and infection you and your partner may get from unprotected oral sex? are we still in danger if both are protected like wearing condom

STDs: Fellatio presents the risk of syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea, and HIV, among others. Condoms will lessen the risk appreciably. Be careful out there. Hope this helps.

Low risk, not zero: Contrary to advice from some sources, oral sex can be considered safe sex -- compared with vaginal or anal sex, much lower risk for all STDs and no risk for some. Main risks are gonorrhea, herpes due to HSV1, nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), and syphilis. Very low risk for chlamydia, HSV2, and HPV. Virtually zero for HIV and probably hepatitis. Condoms: see comment to follow.
