The Risk of Oral STDs: What You Need to Know

When it comes to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), most people think of genital infections. However, oral sex can also lead to the transmission of STDs. In fact, oral sex is a common way that many STDs are spread. In this article, we’ll explore the risks and factors of oral STDs, and how Nao Medical can help you get tested and treated.

What Are Oral STDs?

Oral STDs are sexually transmitted infections that can be transmitted through oral sex. These infections can affect the mouth, throat, and other parts of the body. Common oral STDs include:

These infections can cause a range of symptoms, including sores, blisters, discharge, and pain. Some oral STDs, like HPV, may not cause any noticeable symptoms at all.

What Are the Risk Factors of Oral STDs?

Anyone who engages in oral sex is at risk for contracting an oral STD. However, certain factors can increase your risk. These include:

  • Having multiple sexual partners
  • Engaging in unprotected sex
  • Having a history of STDs
  • Using tobacco and/or alcohol
  • Having poor oral hygiene

It’s important to note that even if you don’t have any symptoms, you can still have an oral STD and spread it to others. That’s why regular testing is so important.
