Risk on my wife

[jacksonZ]

Good day
I was overseas for work and have done some risky activities (unprotected anal and vaginal) . When i came back, i didnt want to have unprotected with my wife till i know my status . But i did give her oral sex( my tongue and her vagina) is there a risk for her ? Being the recipient? Can i continue oral till i know my status ?

Im only worried that i tranamit  a disease to her through oral sex. That was my queation. And i gather from your answer that there is no risk to her ?

Welcome to the Forum.  Getting checked before you have unprotected sex with your wife is a good thing to do.  If you do not have symptoms your risk for STDs is low but there is a small risk so getting checked is a good idea.  Most penile infections are symptomatic although, any site you were exposed at (i.e your mouth, penis, anus) could potentially be a site of asymptomatic infection and is worth testing.  There is almost no risk of you transmitting an infection, even an oral infection if you were exposed at that site, through oral sex.  If you had unprotected penile exposure and she is performing oral sex on you the risk for infection is a little higher but still low.  

If I were you, I would not worry too much buyt I would seek testing to rule out the low possiblity of infection so that you can move forward without any concern at all.  EWH
