29 Jun 08 STD - Red Spots on Throat?
If a girl gives oral sex and has red spots on her throat after what does that mean?
Both me and my girlfriend had never been sexually active with anyone else, it was our first time. Soon after, she had red spots. Could it be allergies also?
I don’t see how it can be an STD since none of us were sexually active.
Also, there hasn’t been anything irregular on my penis. Her throat had red spots, now she says it’s just red and hurts.
The problem with having sex at a young age (and I might be wrong, but that’s what it sounds like) is that you haven’t educated yourself enough to learn when to be worried and when not to be worried.
You should probably take a few moments to learn about how STDs are transmitted and how they aren’t transmitted.
STDs are transmitted when body fluids come into contact with each other:
• Unprotected sex
• Unprotected oral sex
• Anal sex
Now, you haven’t said if you use protection, but since both of you were virgins (and I’m assuming this is true), it’s more than likely not an STD.
But that doesn’t mean you’re in the clear.
What it sounds like is strep throat – that your girlfriend just happened to catch in the days leading up to your sexual activity, and the spots appeared then. She needs to head to her primary care doctor to get tested.
Let this be a lesson to you that you need to protect yourself – even during oral sex.
STDs can be transmitted very easily. And while you say you are monogamous, you might want to protect yourself in terms of preventing pregnancy.
Condoms are a cheap way to go, and the pill can serve as a way for your girlfriend to protect herself from pregnancy, but not from STDs. Condoms are the only ways to do that.
