Sore throat after cunnilingus
by oldgent, Oct 20, 2004 12:00AM
I have developed an intermittent sore throat after having oral sex with different women. There isn't any redness or visible signs of bumps. The irritation is not painful, just annoying and it isn't persistent. The soreness started about 2 weeks after. It has now been 4 weeks.
Does this sound like I may have an oral STD?

Not really. Oral STDs after cunnilingus are very rare and most would show up sooner than 2 weeks. The mildness you describe and the intermittent symptoms also are reassuring that nothing serious is going on. But the standard advice applies: see a health care provider if the symptoms persist or get worse.
