What Are The Chances Of Oral Chlamydia And Gonorrhea After Oral Sex?
Question: Few Questions in regards to Oral chlamydia and oral gonorrhea
I have protected sex with lots of sex workers ( Mid Range hookers that seem to be clean )
We french kiss a lot , we do unprotected oral on each other etc.
My question is can I catch oral chlamydia and oral gonorrhea through French kissing
if the girl had oral chlamydia and/or oral gonorrhea at that time .
Am I at risk if I perform oral sex only on her clitoris?
We always rinse our mouths with Listerine before and after the session.
Also I drink few glasses of cranberry juice before each session , and also I carry hand sanitizer with me to
wash my private parts after the session . Does doing this prevent catching chlamydia and gonorrhea ?

Brief Answer:
Kissing is usually not a mode for transmission of gonorrhea/ chlamydia
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thank you for writing to us
Kissing doesnt transmit oral gonorrhea or chlamydia as the bacteria do not infect the tongue or mouth. The infection is usually of the throat/ pharynx.
Unprotected oro-genital contact is the most common route for pharyngeal gonorrhea or chlamydia. Yes, one can get pharyngeal infection with clitoral sex.
Washing immediately after sex does not offer protection from infection.
