Oral intimacy: Diseases that can be contracted from indulging in this form of intimacy

According to Healthline, Most misinformed people believe that oral intimacy is risk-free because it does not involve the direct exchange of fluids, but this is not the case. But this is erroneous since even if you try oral copulation with someone you don't know very well, you still run the risk of contracting the same diseases you would have if you had engaged in direct copulation.

In this piece, inspired by a CDC report, we will examine some of the diseases that can be spread by such close contact. Take it easy and take in this informative material.
Which diseases are transmitted by oral contact?

You can still get these diseases by engaging in this type of copulation with someone whose health state you don't know for sure, therefore it's not safe.
One of the most prominent is the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which can still be spread by oral copulation with an infected partner.
Herpes 2 is another STD that can be spread through this method of making love.

Third, the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is also spread during oral coitus and can result in life-threatening diseases. When left untreated, it raises the risk of cancer of the throat and cervix in females.
Fourth, syphilis can be transmitted through oral copulation with a person who already has the disease.

Be selective about who you sleep with, and make sure you know everything there is to know about their medical history
