Can STD Be Contracted Through Open Wounds On Penis?
Question: Hi, last week I had a regrettable encounter with a person I believe to be promiscuous Here is what happened and key variables that have me worried. I had some cryotherapy done to freeze a small wart at the base of my penis , so I had a open wound. Being mindful of this , the person performed oral on me for about a minute or so but only on the end of my penis, staying away from the wound. The encounter then progressed to me receiving about a minute or so of anilingus so overall it was a brief encounter , mostly because I was uncomfortable. What risk do you think I put myself in here ? I have set myself up an "early detection" std screening but it's not for a couple weeks. In the meantime I'm a nervous reck
Brief Answer:
If the wounds were not touched, then the risk is minimal!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this encounter and all the inconveniences this has caused you. Please, always consider protection during sexual encounters and more so with persons you are not familiar with.
Because the open sores were not touched, there is no reason to be too scared at this time. There is no increased risk because there was no contact with this area. Also, oral sex and anilingus have very low probabilities of transmitting infections.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
Chances still very low!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Even with these, the chances are still very low. If it were this easy to transmit HIV and other STI, then believe me almost everyone would have been suffering from this. Your concerns are genuine but there is really no reason to feel too stressed about this.
I wish you well.
