What Are The Infection Risks Associated With Oral Sex?
My question is, I was with my boyfriend last Saturday night , he did perform oral sex on me, now today being Thursday he says he feels like he is coming down with something, cold symptoms. I do not have a yeast infection and I shower everyday, exercise, eat healthy no bad habits. Is it possible I could be the cause of his feeling like he has a cold. if so what could I possibly have that would cause such a thing?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Cold like symptoms are so common and can occur to anybody.
It might well be due to the bacterial flora other than any STD organisms acquired during oral sex like a streptococcus. It might have acquired through the close intimacy during sex through an air born infection. There is every chance for this cold be acquired from somebody else other than you during any casual contact in the day to day life as an air born infection. Not necessarily due to STD cause.
