Throat Infection

[freddiecat1]

When performing oral sex on my girlfriend I seem to quickly develop a sore throat, which lasts for a few days to a week. Within hours I get sinus blocking then lots of green goobers from my throat the next day and if unlucky cold like symptoms for a day or three before it clears up, I jut take throat sweets and flu remedies. Having been together for many months I choose to avoid giving oral pleasure. Yes I know I should discuss it but in doing so I'd like to know what we should do next, is it the doctors, is it the pharmacy or is it a clinic? Any insight would be appreciated as I am sure to make a mess of our discussion!

Well it is not an STD and the best approach would have your GF go to the Dr and test for anything abnormal like yeast or other infections.

That's what I thought for the first few months but I would guess I was catching a cold very frequently and now it appears the two are linked as I rarely perform oral sex and when I do it is almost a certainty that I get a throat infection which has a rapid onset.

So I would welcome any thoughts as to what might be causing this (other than it being a cold) as I know from avoiding oral I don't get sore throats, and when I do reciprocate I do get sore throats, the onset is almost the same every time.

Well let me start by saying chance of getting an oral STD from your GF is small. And if any symptoms show (which most of the time they don't) it would be a couple of days later.
Chances are you have a cold and that is the problem.
