Oral gonorrhea - HIV
Hello
I just tested positive for gonorrhea in my throat. The test came out negative for all other STDs.
I had oral sex last week with a guy (I gave him a blowjob). If the gonorrhea was already there from a previous sexual contact, did that increase my risk for HIV when I gave that guy a blowjob (without having had semen in my mouth)?
Thank you

Ah ok, because I just found a post by Dr. Handsfield saying that having an STD increases the risk when exposed to HIV, althugh the overall risk remains low.
