Is it possible to get an STI through eating?

How do you get an STI, and can I get an STI by banging? Unprotected sex can lead to STIs in the erogenous zones, but you can also catch STIs orally. Often no condoms or beflaps are used during oral sex, but oral sex can also cause you to get an STI. You can catch Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Herpes, Syphilis and Hepatitis B from banging without protection. The chance of contracting an STD is much smaller than when you have normal sex, but the chance is present. 

Herpes in throat

You can get herpes when you hurt someone, but you can also get herpes when you are hurt by someone who has a cold sore at that moment. Herpes in the throat can also occur, the virus nestles in the mucous membranes in the throat.

Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea in throat

Chlamydia is a lot less easy to transfer by beating than Gonorrhea. Gonorrhea is very contagious and can also settle easily in the throat by biting. If you have Chlamydia or Gonorrhea in your throat, it gives symptoms of pain in the throat and swollen glands in the neck. However, this isn't always necessary and it can't cause any symptoms at all. When the Chlamydia or Gonorrhoea is in your throat, you can also infect other people with this STD.

Syphilis

Syphilis can get you from kissing someone with an ulcer in his or her mouth. So you can get an STI by kissing. So you can also get Syphilis when you are kissed by someone who has a syphilis ulcer in his or her mouth.

HIV

You don't actually get HIV by beating, because your saliva has a bactericidal effect and so you have enough natural protection. The only advice is not to hurt someone when they are menstruating or to make sure that no menstrual blood gets into your mouth.
