Oral sex STI risk charts: Transmission and prevention

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can spread as a result of having close physical contact with another person. They usually spread through vaginal, anal, and oral sex.

Oral sex carries a risk of contracting and transmitting certain STIs. Oral sex includes fellatio (oral sex on a penis), cunnilingus (oral sex on a vulva), and rimming (oral sex on an anus).

This article will discuss which STIs can spread through oral sex, how to prevent them, their symptoms, and when to see a doctor.

Prevention
There are several ways to prevent or reduce the risk of transmitting and contracting STIs. The sections below will discuss these in more detail.


Condoms
Condoms that cover the penis are a common type of barrier method of contraception.


There are three kinds of condom material. They can either be latex, plastic, or lambskin. Lambskin condoms can only help prevent pregnancy, not STIs.

Latex and plastic condoms protect against STIs by covering the penis and stopping it from coming into direct contact with the vagina or anus.

People should use a new condom whenever they start a different sexual activity. For example, a person should change their condom if they go from oral sex to anal sex. The same is true if they go from anal sex to vaginal sex.

Internal condoms
Internal condoms, or female condoms, are an alternative to the typical condoms that go over the penis. They provide the same amount of protection from STIs.

These condoms are plastic pouches that go inside the vagina or anus and cover some parts of the vulva and skin around the anus. This reduces a person’s risk of coming into contact with semen or skin that can spread STIs.

Dental dams
Dental dams are small latex or polyurethane sheets that act as a barrierTrusted Source between the mouth and the vagina or anus during oral sex. These limit the amount of contact between the mouth and the genitals or anus, reducing the risk of contracting an STI.

If a dental dam is not available, it is possible to cut a latex or plastic condom in half and use that as a dental dam instead.

HPV vaccine
HPV is a very common STI. Certain types of HPV can result in cancer and genital warts.

However, scientists have developed a vaccine that protects people against HPV. The vaccine is available to everyone aged 9–45 years. It is best to vaccinate children before they become sexually active to reduce the risk of them contracting an STI in adulthood.


This vaccine is safe. The most common side effects are temporary pain and skin flushing at the site of the injection.

The vaccine can only prevent HPV. It cannot cure or treat strains of HPV that a person already has before they receive the vaccination.

Preexposure prophylaxis
Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which takes the form of a daily pill, helps reduce a person’s risk of contracting HIV. In fact, if a person takes PrEP every day, it can lower their risk of contracting HIV from sex by more than 90%.

People at high risk of contracting HIV from sex may benefit from taking PrEP. A person may be suitable for PrEP if they:

do not regularly use condoms
have a sexual partner who has HIV
have a sexual partner who is at high risk of having HIV
have anal or vaginal sex with many partners, especially without the use of condoms
have recently had another STI, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea
do sex work that includes vaginal or anal sex
have used injected drugs, shared needles, or had treatment for drug use within the past 6 months
