I don't know any stats, but I do know its not common to get oral STD infections.
Wearing a condom will prevent gonorrhea, and will dramatically reduce the chance of syphilis.

Do you know any stats on transmission rates of Oral Gonorrhea and syphilis while performing or recieving fellatio? Obviously wearing a condom protect from anything right?

Hi there -
Those are pretty low risk.
Assuming you are male (based on the name Frank), your risks from receiving oral sex are gonorrhea, NGU, syphilis and herpes type 1 (if you've ever had a cold sore, don't worry about that one).
From performing oral sex on people, you could get oral gonorrhea and syphilis.
Syphilis and gonorrhea are fairly uncommon in the US, so there isn't a lot to worry about there.
