DRY MOUTH WITH ORAL SEX
DR, I GAVE ORAL SEX TU A GIRL BUT DURING THAT TIME I WAS EXPERIENCING A VERY DRY MOUTH, CAN THAT BE A CAUSE FOR AN INCREASE IN THE RISK OF INFECTION OF HIV OR OTHER DISEASES?
THANKS DOCTOR...

Oral sex on women (cunnilingus) carries no known risk for HIV; no cases of HIV have ever been reported to be transmitted in that manner. And it's nearly zero risk for all other STDs as well. Having a dry mouth wouldn't make any difference. Even if your partner has HIV -- which is unlikely -- you were not at risk from this event, do not require testing, and can safely continue unprotected sex with a regular partner, if you have one. There also is no need for testing for other STDs.
