TIme frames for passing STD on

by florida1952, Nov 06, 2009 04:30PM

How long after contact with the infected party does one become a carrier? Are you a carrier before symptoms appear?

How common is oral transmission of chlamydia and gonorhea - penis to mouth and mouth to penis or mouth to vagina?

There is no specific time frame for an individual to contract an std. If you are infected, you can still infect others even if you do not have symptoms. Symptoms do not always appear right away or at all in a lot of cases.

Oral transmission of chlamydia and gonorrhea is not very common in general any way you look at it. Of the two, gonorrhea is the one that is most likely to be transmitted orally in the rare case one gets an oral std. Chlamydia is a very very very low risk orally.
