LIttle or no risk: Oral sex can transmit gonorrhea from the mouth or throat to the genitals, especaily oral sex on men (fellatio). Cunnlingus (oral-vaginal sex) rarely transmits it. Transmission probably is not through saliva, which kills or inhibits many germs, including gonorrhea bacteria. Transmission probably occurs primarily by direct contact of urethra (penile opening) with the back of the thorat.
