Is it contagious for partner if do oral sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only slightly: Oral sex is pretty safe sex. Not completely free of risk, but much lower for all STDs than unprotected vaginal or anal sex, and zero risk for some. HIV, viral hepatitis, chlamydia, HPV, and HSV2 are rarely if ever transmitted oral to genital. Gonorrhea, nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), and herpes due to HSV1 are the main risks, and all these are uncommon.
