A member asked:
How likely is it to contract an std from receiving fellatio unprotected?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: There are some stds that are readily transmitted via saliva, especially if you have any small openings of your tissue (e.g. Shaving abrasions, nicks, scrapes, or beard abrasions). Under these circumstances it becomes easier to transmit any disease that is communicable. Lastly, the giver of the fellatio must have a disease that is transmittable. Under these circumstances, it is quite possible.
