hello, 122445 --

i don't know enough about oral sex to answer your Q, so i was going to refer you to the sexual health community, but i see that you have already posted there, so i'll send you to the relevant thread -- http://forums.webmd.com/3/sex-and-relationships-exchange/tip/28?@guest ; there is an expert there.

you might also want to take a look at the webMD info on symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases -- http://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/tc/exposure-to-sexually-transmitted-diseases-related-information . i don't see your symptoms in there.

however, if you have the least doubt, go see your dr.

having oral sex is always a gamble, first thing first is to talk with your partner. After that I would try some over the counter items such as chapstick an dry mouth toothpaste and mouthwash, if you have sores of any type or those otc's do not work then you should see someone. hope this helps
