    Question

    i recently had oral sex (unprotected) with my boyfriend.. and i have done it about 3 times in the past week. I noticed that my throat really hurts, as if i had a plain old sore throat... is this something i should be worried about?? any idea on what this could be (STD)

    Answer

    Oral sex without using a condom is sharing body fluid and herefore "unsafe sex" which can transmit sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HPV. It would be a great idea for you to be checked out at Planned Parenthood or by your doctor.
