Question:
I am 15 years of age and my G/F of almost three months is 6 months younger than I. I have a questions about Sexualy Transmitted Infections. Within the past 48-hours, both my girlfriend and I have given as well as received oral stimulation from one another. The following morning, I awoke to find that the small tendon underneath my tongue to be a bit 'tender' and it is slightly painful if my tongue is stretched in a slightly awkward direction, or out of my mouth too far.
But is there any possible way for my to get an oral infection through just the contact with my partner's natural vaginal lubricants, if she has no STD's or STI's at all? And if it is possible, what are the chances of me having one, and how can I prevent/cure it?

One of you must have a sexually transmitted disease or infection (STD/STI)in order to pass it to the other. The problem is you may not know that you have it until you’ve already passed it on to the other. Oral sex has often – wrongly - been thought of as a safe alternative to vaginal or anal sex for sexual disease prevention. The sexual fluids present during oral sex can pass chlamydia, herpes, gonorrhea, Human Papillomavirus (HPV, also know as genital warts) & HIV/AIDS.
The only sure bets for STD/STI prevention are abstaining from sex or mutual monogamy (having sex with only one uninfected partner). You will greatly reduce the chance of STD/STI during oral sex by using condoms for fellatio (mouth to penis) & plastic wrap, condoms cut open to be lie flat, or dental dams (latex squares dentists use during dental work) for cunnilingus (mouth to vagina). Please note that each disease/infection is different as to how easily it is transmitted, treated or cured.
Chlamydia is a treatable bacterial infection, but it can scar the fallopian tubes affecting a woman's ability to have children. Gonorrhea is a treatable bacterial infection, but not to be taken lightly as it can be serious if not treated. There is no cure for genital herpes, but there are 3 treatments to suppress & heal the outbreaks. There is also no cure for genital warts, but there are several treatments. You’re probably aware that there’s no cure for HIV/AIDS, however, early medical treatment, a healthy lifestyle & positive attitude can help you stay well by delaying the onset of AIDS & preventing some life-threatening conditions.
