LESBIAN STD QUESTIONS

Q:
Recently I had oral sex preformed on me and another woman at the same time, by a man. Is it possible to spread any std's this way? He penetrated her, but not me, but gave both of us oral sex and inserted his fingers into her and then into me. Should I be worried?


A:
Several STD's can be transmitted through oral sex alone (from an infected person's mouth to the recipient's genital area), including herpes (type 1, in particular) and gonorrhea (primarily for the person who performs oral sex on a penis). Moreover, if the male partner in your threesome transmitted vaginal fluid from your female partner to you, any infection she had in her vaginal fluid (including trichomonas, chlamydia, gonorrhea) could conceivably be transmitted into your vagina as well.
