A member asked:

I have 2 ulcers in my mouth as i haven't been eating healthy lately. am i still able to give oral sex or is it going to be worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No oral sex: No oral sex is recommended. The 2 ulcers in your mouth may contain the Herpes Simplex virus and can be spread to the genital areas and other areas of the mouth, throuat and tongue from kissing your partner. Human Pampiloma virus is commonly associated with increased Oral Sex and can be spread if, not diagnosised and treated immediately. It is best to not have sexual intimacy for 2 weeks.
