Hello I am a 16 year old boy and I have been dating my girlfriend for about a month now. I know from a story I heard from her(when we were not dating) that she has had oral sex with a boy she met in Europe. Should I bet worried about STIs if I choose to have oral sex with her...or even making out do I need to be worried?

I think, if a person has had sex with anyone other than you.. that you should both be tested for STI's/STD's before you have sex of any kind. Of course you know who you've had sex with, but you never know if/if not the person she had sex with was STI positive.
I would just check to be sure. The odds of her being positive is slim, but would you want to take that chance or be absolutely sure? If you both go together it will make it seem like you aren't just pressuring her to get tested. I would hope you would get checked (along with any person you plan to have sex with) whether you have an STI or not. You never know what you or she might have gotten from any person you've slept with in the past. There can be NO symptoms of having a STI/STD. I wouldn't be too worried about this, but to be safe... get tested. [ gr8fruit's advice column | Ask gr8fruit A Question ]
