about crabs

hey i recently had crabs but i have not had sex in about to much I just have been doing the oral thing so I wanted to know can I get and pass crabs through oral sex only and can crabs hold other diseases (like warts, hiv, chlymadia etc...) and pass them on to others...please let me know

they do not carry any STD. I have never heard of them being passed via oral sex and showing up in the gental region. But you can get them from bed sheets, towels and things like that if u used those.

ok this is my last question...How long should I wait after my last sex encounter to get tested for other std's to make sure I am clean, and should I get my anus checked also because I often get rimmed sometimes or can the urine test see every possible std in my body!

Well from oral sex...1 week for gonorrhea, 6 weeks for syphilis and 4 months for herpes.

ok and will i need to get my anus checked also from getting rimmed or I just need to get my throat and penis checked?

[Vance2335]

rimming is not a risk...giving or receiving

[nervousrec]

can you explain how it is not...I mean if I can catch std through oral sex on mouth to penis then why cant I catch it from mouth to anus because both are openinngs to my body!
Sorry to ask so many questions I just want to be be educated about this!

Because lips and the tongue are not passing on a STD. When it comes to penis to mouth you are talking about an exposure to the bacteria that is in the mouth, gums, teeth and other areas and even that transmission is difficult.

This is one reason why kissing is not a risk for a STD. It is all about location.

I dont think you understood my question...Here is my scenario say if a person with any STD performs oral sex on me would I know i will get it if he gives me a blowjob but will i also get it if he dont give me a blow job but he sticks his tongue in my anus and kisses it and spit on it because again its still a opening just like my penis is a opening!

[Vance2335]

I understood your question and my answer is no...rimming is not a risk because there is no infectious materials that would be coming into contact. Saliva, tongue and lips to not pass STD;s.
