AboutJordan Expertise My name is Jordan and I am an Epidemiology student at the University of Oklahoma. On top of that I am finishing my bachelors in M.D.S. public health and my minor is H.E.S. (health and exercise science). I have had many classes entirely devoted to sexually transmitted diseases, I am starting my independent study focusing on S.T.D distribution based on demographics, and have had a lot of hands on experience at the clinic that I am currently employed. I believe that sexually transmitted disease are a part of life, like any other non-sexually transmitted disease and can be controlled with knowledge. I would love to share this knowledge with anyone that is seeking it and encourage anyone that needs it to just ask, because I would love to help.

Question Hello and thanks for the service, it really is a great help. you have answered a question for me in the past and seem to know exactly what you are talking about. Also, you seem like you know "whats up" so i will just ask this as I would a good friend. I hooked up with a girl recently who I just found out is a really big slut. I don't get laid very often and she was really great in bed so i really want to sleep with her again. I know for a fact she has hooked up with a few guys since me and her had sex,(2 weeks ago). My question is, what sort of stds or other bugs can I catch from kissing her and maybe going down on her?? I would definitely wear a condom for sex, but is there a high possibility of catching something from cunnilingus?? Or kissing her, especially if she was giving head to a few other guys recently?? Is there a certain time period after which the mouth can clean itself out?? Basically,I don't want to be sucking another dude off in a sense, how long would it be before the other guys' "taste" is gone from her mouth and vagina? sorry if I sound akward, but I don't know how else to word it. Thanks.
Answer I am glad that I have helped you in the past and hopefully I can this time. I am going to be blunt and truthful, there are a lot of different things that you could catch. When she performs oral sex on someone other than you she can contract an STD from their penis to her mouth. This includes HSV "herpes" which can passed from their genitals to her mouth, then to your genitals. Some people think that genital herpes (HSV-2) cannot infect the mouth like a cold sore (HSV-1). This is completely incorrect! If a person were to get HSV-2 in their mouth it would be even easier for them to spread it to your genitals (lets not forget they can spread it to your mouth through kissing). Other things that she could contract through oral with another person and spread to you would be syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, HPV "genital warts", and even HIV! I know it is pretty crazy to think that these things can be passed through oral sex, because most people view oral sex as safe sex. Now for the kissing part, everything that I named before can go from her mouth to your mouth, not to mention you can catch what ever bacteria or virus she may have, but I think most people are less worried about that. Now for the "taste" part, believe it or not you are not the first person to ask me this. The tast you have in question is from the other guys ejaculation or "pre-cum", this does not stay in the mouth for very long, the mouth is constantly producing saliva that washes it away, so the only bad taste you would get would be from whatever she ate before kissing you! It is good to hear that you are wearing a condom, it sounds as if this is a situation you would need to. I usually tell people that teir partner and them should get an STD test done before performing oral sex, but it does not sound like it would make much of a difference with an individual since she is well....open sexually? Here is what you should do if you would like to be safer. Have her perform oral on you when you are wearing a condom, before you have sex. This block whatever is in her mouth from reaching your penis. As for kissing, you could try the excuse that you have a cold. I would usually say find a new partner, but I do not think that you are wanting to do that, so just trying using a barrier between you and her mouth, because you never know what is lurking in those cheeks!
