Sore Throat Scare

I gave a girl oral sex Sunday and got a sore throat Tuesday today is Wednesday and its still sore. this was my first time doing this and now I'm so scared is this normal? Does this pretty much guarantee I have sti/std? No other symptoms.

odds are this is something you got from kissing her, not a std from performing oral sex on her. It's that time of the year when viral upper respiratory infections are quite common as is strep throat.

see your provider if you are concerned for some basic testing.

we recommend protected sexual contact because it works!  When performing oral on a partner, you can use a condom, cut it open and lay it over the genital area and perform oral over that. If it's a regular partner who's std status you are aware of, discuss together if having protected oral sex or not is worthwhile.  same as if someone is performing oral on you, make sure you are wearing a condom too to protect you.
