Please see a doc: Presence of sores with sore throat, hoarse voice, blisters on tongue, palate or lips, pus on the tonsil, called exudate all combined with a history of oral sex, is always a concern for going in for an evaluation, possible culture tests, blood work ,etc. So you should go in if you even suspect it, with history of contact at the earliest.

It's possible.: STD's can certainly show up in the mouth, so I understand your concern. Gonorrhea and Herpes are the most common oral STD's. They are transmitted through oral sex with an infected individual. However, both require specific diagnostic tests and treatments and other conditions, such as thrush, must be ruled out. Please see a doctor.

See Oral Surgeon: See your Oral Surgeon, or Oral Medicine specialist for examination and diagnosis. They see this on a regular basis, so do not be embarrassed. You are doing the smartest thing by going and getting it checked. Be brave and see them. Good Luck.

Oral STD: the only way to find out if you have an STD is to see a doctor or oral surgeon for an evaluation. Do not wait any on gear.
