Question
If you have oral sex and you swallow the semen, does it have any secondary effects?
Answer
Sexually transmitted infections and diseases like HIV are all transmitted via sharing body fluids, which includes semen. By not using a condom during oral sex, you are putting yourself at risk for getting a sexually transmitted infection or disease.
