Unprotected Oral Sex is NOT safe sex

Life is inherently risky. There are many activities where the consequences are a lot worse than a rash in the groin area.

193 people were killed on public roads last year and many thousands suffered serious injury. If life's risks compel you to become a recluse and prisoner in your own home, the risk of death while traveling would be a far more valid reason.

It is extremely unlikely that you would catch HIV from a blow job as very little virus is present in saliva.

"In June 2002, a study conducted amongst 135 HIV negative Spanish heterosexuals, who were in a sexual relationship with a person who was HIV positive, reported that over 19,000 instances of unprotected oral sex had not led to any cases of HIV transmission."

Skin is the largest human organ. Most of the STDs will enter your body when there is a breakage in the epidermis layer of the skin. Micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria, parasites will enter through these breakages and compromise your immune system.

If I think I caught something from BBBJ where should I go get checked and looked at?

Any advice?

"Oral sex 'big cause of throat cancer'",

Straits Times, Wednesday, 5 Oct 2011, page A10.

NEW YORK: Throat cancer in men is more likely to be caused by a virus linked to oral sex than smoking, an American study has suggested.

Researchers who examined throat tumour tissue collected from 271 patients over a 20-year period found that oral cancer linked to the human papillomavirus, or HPV, shot up to 72% from 16%.

Put another way, the number of people diagnosed with HPV-related oral cancer in 2004, the year the study ended, was triple the number diagnosed in 1988, according to the study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncolody on Monday. ...


This is only if the girl you are performing cunnilingus on has HPV. I believe that men can be carriers of HPV but show no symptoms. I cannot say for certain if this is true. Yesterday's New Paper also has an article on unprotected oral sex which I have not read. I very very seldom or never lick WL, FL or girlfriends' vulvas nowadays. In the past I did so but probably less than eight.

If cunnilingus is your thing, cover your tongue with a condom or a clean plastic sheet. Hold it with the fingers of your two hands where the ring of the condom is and lick. That is a barrier, right?

Oral sex can cause throat cancer

22:00 09 May 2007 by Roxanne Khamsi

People who have had more than five oral-sex partners in their lifetime are 250% more likely to have throat cancer than those who do not have oral sex, a new study suggests.

The researchers believe this is because oral sex may transmit human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus implicated in the majority of cervical cancers.

The new findings should encourage people to consistently use condoms during oral sex as this could protect against HPV, the team says. Other experts say that the results provide more reason for men to receive the new HPV vaccine.

Maura Gillison at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, US, and colleagues collected blood and saliva samples from the throats of 100 patients diagnosed with cancers of the tonsils or back of the throat. The scientists also took samples from 200 healthy people for comparison.

By combining the blood and saliva samples with antibody molecules, Gillison's team could tell whether a person had ever had an HPV infection.

Cancer traps
All of the study participants provided information about their sexual history, including the number of people with whom they had engaged in oral sex.

After controlling for other risk factors for throat cancer, such as drinking and smoking, the analysis revealed that people who had prior infection with HPV were 32 times as likely to have this cancer as those with no evidence of ever having the virus. And those who tested positive for a particularly aggressive strain of the virus, called HPV-16, were 58 times more likely to have throat cancer.

By comparison, either smoking or drinking increases the risk of such cancer by about threefold.

The throat cancers analysed in the new study mostly started in the "crypts" of the throat - the grooves at the base of the tonsils. This might be because the tonsil grooves trap infectious particles, suggests Mark Stoler of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, US, who was not involved in the study.

High risk levels
The study also revealed a link between oral sex and throat cancer caused by HPV. People who had one to five oral-sex partners in their lifetime had approximately a doubled risk of throat cancer compared with those who never engaged in this activity - and those with more than five oral-sex partners had a 250% increased risk.

There was an even stronger link between oral sex and throat cancers clearly caused by HPV-16 (those tumours that tested positive for the strain). People with more than five oral sex partners had a 750% increased risk of these HPV-16-caused cancers.

"This study is important because it is putting all of the pieces together," says Gillison. "We need to add oral HPV infection to the list of risks for oral cancer," she adds.

Virus vaccine
A vaccine against several of the most aggressive strains of HPV linked to cervical cancer received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration in 2006. However the plan to vaccinate adolescent girls with this vaccine developed by Merck, called Gardasil, has received some criticism.

There have been no studies investigating whether the vaccine can also protect against throat cancer, but the new evidence linking HPV to throat cancer could lead to broader vaccination with Gardasil. "We will see a push for vaccination in men," says Stoler, who has been involved in the development of the vaccine.

Tonsil and throat cancers affect about two in every 100,000 adults in the US. The new results could promote the development of spit tests for HPV infection to help identify people at high risk for these cancers, researchers say.

Should be "Please ADVISE.". "Advice" is a noun.

Check out the DSC website.

Bro, at the moment you cannot test for HPV and don't forget there are many strains for HPV.

You can't even vaccinate against HPV with Gardasil because it only affords protection against HPV, if the virus is not already in your system. As long as you have have any sexual exposure, you are likely to be exposed to HPV.

If you are a virgin and you have a virginal partner, you have little to worry about this HPV.

It is estimated that more than 50% of the population is a HPV carrier. The only thing you can protect yourself is maintain your health and immune system, and go to the doctor as soon as you see signs of any disease.
