Oral sex

You can get a sexually transmitted infection (STI) by giving or getting oral sex.

Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Herpes, Hepatitis B, Syphilis and HIV can all be spread through oral sex.

What increases my risks during oral sex?

How can I reduce the risk of HIV and STIs during oral sex?

*A condom can be used to make a dental dam. Carefully take the condom out of its package and unroll it. Cut off the tip and end of the condom and cut down the length of the tube. Unroll the condom and you will have a rectangular sheet that can be used as a dental dam.
