I'm thinking of having oral sex with this guy that I know ...or to put it more correctly he wants to do it with me. But iv been reading articles about it and im very worried about catching an STD like AIDS/HIV...Hes assured me he s a virgin (I.
e. he hasnt had sex/partners etc and hasnt taken drugs or whatever) but is there still a danger that if I had (unprotected) oral sex with him that I could get an STD or whatever passed on? And if I swallow any bodily fluid could that still be harmful as well? Sorry thats really 2 questions but I really need to know. Thanks a lot.

 Hello,
The risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted disease through oral sex is reported by many.
Certain practices are suggested to reduce the risk of infection through oral sex. For example physical barriers (like plastic food wrap, a condom cut open, or a dental dam) can prevent transmission of HIV and other STDs.
Best regards.
