Recently, my boyfriend and I have gone to third base (which we define as oral sex) and I was wondering if I would be in any sort of danger of contracting a disease. We haven't gone further than that and we’re both firsts for each other, so I was thinking that we’d both be safe from getting anything. Could I be wrong?

I know you care about your boyfriend and trust him, but you never know where anyone has been. People lie. People with stds don't always tell their partners. But let's say for a moment that neither of has had sex. A small percentage of babies are born with herpes though. If the person giving oral has cold sores herpes can be passed. Now let's say he hasn't been honest about his experience then many things can be passed. The only ways to truly be safe are abstinence and being tested. Here are a pair of links that will help. You both really should be tested just so neither of you has any fear. It will be so much better to have no worries.
