As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Sorry for this sex ed question, but at how much risk of STDs am I putting myself by having frequent unprotected oral sex with different people?

spoilerToday I had for the first time in my life sucked off a stranger. There was no condom involved though. While I really enjoyed it and would love to do it more often, I feel like I already did a huge mistake by not having used protection today. How risky was what I did?

HPV was mentioned but you can also get oral Chlamydia. Also the piss test doesn't work because it's in your mouth so if you get an sti check it's worth them doing an oral swab.

Also if you're not already you should get on Prep if you plan on more sucking and fucking. It's the antiviral that prevents getting HIV

I don't know numbers-wise, but make sure you're vaccinated for HPV because it can spread like that.

Thank you. I just checked and apparently I'm not vaccinated against it because apparently they only started doing it for everybody after I was born?? And for some reason it isn't a vaccine that the national health service lists as one that I should have taken? And their info page isn't making it clear if, for my age bracket and the gender I still have my on my documents, it is free.

I hate this.

I'm sorry it's not more straightforward, but try to get clarification on whether it can be covered for you. Both for your own health and for the people you're intimate with.

[โ€“] Zorothamya@hexbear.net 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, sorry. I will try to get the vaccine as soon as possible (if I haven't already contracted it now from that last encounter, given how widespread it is). I just let out my frustration that I wasn't vaccinated against something like that.

Hey it's not your fault; it used to not be recommended for as many people. And there are multiple strains, so even if you did get it once there's still some benefit in getting vaccinated.
