Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Vaginal discharge: Any new, changed, or unexplained vaginal discharge requires in-person medical evaluation. There are several possible causes, including STDs if sexually active and perhaps at risk. Tampons are not a likely cause.

I (female) performed oral sex on a man without a condom for around 2 minutes. I was wondering that, if I get an STD, will it first show on my mouth or my vagina? He didn't do anything to me. Just the oral sex to him?
