Question
i was wondering which stds you can get orally?
Answer
You can contract most STD's through unprotected oral sex. The most common are herpes, syphilis, Chlamydia & gonorrhea. It is rare, but there have been some reports of HIV transmitted through oral sex, too. Use of a condom limits the risk and is recommended at all times.
