A doctor, a playmate, once told me, "There is very little risk of getting a virus type of STD (Herpes or Aids) from oral sex. The mouth and stomach have some very powerful chemicals in which viruses, which are quite fragile, cannot survive. The vagina, and particularly the colon, are not so protected.

That leaves bacteria-caused STDs such as Gonorrhea and Syphilis which can be cured with a simple shot of antibiotics.

That leaves a rare transmittal called "piggyback." If a person has both Aids and Syphilis, an Aids-infected syphilis or gonorrhea "germ" can carry the Aids virus into the bloodstream. Penicillin will kill syphilis or gonorrhea but not Aids. The worst risks of this is from unprotected anal sex.

I'd strongly recommend anyone to do more research before deciding to accept my friend's assessment.
