Sexual Health Buzz

Here’s the question:

Last night, i was giving cunnilingus and fingering this girl. we did not engage in intercourse but i did notice that i might of had openings on my tongue (no bleeding) and an cut in my finger which was definitely exposed. the cut is not/was not ever bleeding but it looks like it is deep enough to release “puss.” can i still contract any std’s from this girl? due to reasons that wont be mentioned, i couldn’t wash my hands until about 2 or 3 hours later, i believe. my question is, how much at risk am i? should i get tested? i look forward to hearing your replies. thanks.

Here’s my response:

It is possible to contract an STD via any type of sexual encounter. If you believe that you are at risk for having contracted an STD then you should really make an appointment to see your healthcare professional so that you can have proper STD testing done. Since not all STD’s are included in the routine STD testing process, it’s probably a good idea to ask them specifically what they will be testing you for so that you don’t leave thinking that you’ve been tested for everything when in reality you have not.
