A member asked:

Can a person get mycoplasma genitalium from receiving oral sex?

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Nope: M genitalium is not carried in the oral cavity. Therefore, oral sex isn't a risk; MG is transmitted only by vaginal or anal sex.

Hello drs and thank you. Sorry for my ignorance. If mycoplasma/ureaplasma are normal bacteria in body, how it is related to mycoplasma genitalium/ureaplasa parvum? The STDs sound very serious and far from normal. Should I also get tested for these?
