A member asked:
Is it consider as high risk to catch std if an individual only engage in sexual activity where they just fingering the partner (few times) or giving oral (once) without having themselves touch in return?

Any sexual contact like oral where there is a transfer of sexual fluids can transfer whatever STD the donors fluids contain. The risk with oral is lessened somewhat by enzymes in saliva that suppress germs, but gonorrhea and other STDs can transfer in that act.
