Any sti for which you have both had a test for and the results were negative (meaning you're NOT carrying it) is effectively out of the picture completely in a relationship where neither are having sexual relations with other (unknown) partners. They do not arise from nowhere, or develop from other infections. Potentially THE greatest risk in erms of the seriousness of the outcome is transferring the HIV virus. There is no documented case to date of oral sex ALONE (either way, ie a blowjob or being 'licked/eaten out' to use common terms)resulting in the passing of HIV. The virus cannot live in saliva (spit) and in fact it's seen to actually damage the virus. Contact between blood, semen and vaginal fluids are the key. So semen to saliva, no. Semen to vaginal fluid, yes. And so on. Penetrative sex, without a condom is the major offender in passing sexually transmitted infections. And as we said, if neither partner has one there is no possibility of it's transfer even by this. Oral sex is to all intents and purposes a very low risk practice. And swallowing or NOT swallowing semen or vaginal fluids does not figure in the risk assessment either way. Makes no difference at all in fact. It's a very common practice as a kind of 'first step' for many young couples as they discover and explore their sexuality. There's no pregnancy risk whatsoever of course. I hope you won't be offended, but there is sometimes a sort of 'vibe' that sexually transmitted infections just 'appear', as some sort of moral or godly 'punishment' on us for being 'wicked' and enjoying sex. Especially when we're young. Which is of course complete NONSENSE. But myths WILL persist even in the face of all logic, reason and watertight medical proof! Hope you feel a little happier about oral sex in general. It's harmless, perfectly natural and very enjoyable if it turns out to be 'your thing'! On the subject of myths, there can also be some nagging 'belief' in the back of our minds that contact between our mouths and someone elses genitals is in some way 'dirty' or dangerous. Saliva has evolved as our 'first line of defence' as it were against bacteria, and it's quite strongly antiseptic. Or we'd all be very ill, a lot of the time! Of course, you'll both want to be pleasantly fresh and clean out of respect and courtesy for each other. But that's all you need.
