Can performing (unprotected) fellatio cause a female to get strep throat? it seems too related to just be a coincidence but it has happened 3 times.

Doubtful: You do not provide enough information to make an informed evaluation. Where the three occasions with different or the same man? Was streptococcus isolated and/or cultured from all three pharyngitis tissues? I have never heard of an association between fellatio and strep throat.
