Very interesting and professionally presented. My ex gave me gonorrhea of the throat even though we were supposed to be monogamous during the early years of HIV (which was a death sentence then). Now, almost 40 years later, this relevant information comes out. I wish I knew this way back then...'cause it does happen.
So do you think the key take home is gonorrhoea may be passed on through kissing, but as yet we can’t say that conclusively due to the limitations in the studies presented?
This is actually a serious quesion... is it possible to kiss using a dental dam? I'm terrified of STIs so I'm wondering if this could physically work at all with tongue action, not just a simple peck on the lips?
@@IntegrityMeansAll I didn't get an answer. I thought about it and you could turn a latex or nitrile medical gloves into a dam for oral sex and probably for kissing too. The gloves should be powder free and say Exam or Examination on the package to show that they're a higher quality for medical use. Don't use vinyl gloves or gloves that are powdered. XL or XXL and extended cuff gloves will give you more surface area to work with. There are videos here on UA-cam on how to do it. Cutting open a glove for oral or kissing leaves the thumb intact for the tongue to enter and move around. Health centers use long Q-Tip like cotton swabs to test for STIs in the throat, rectum, vagina, and penile opening along with urine testing. These usually only cover Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea, but there are blood tests available for additional infections.
@@IntegrityMeansAll Here's a lot more info. This is all based on USA practices and most vaccines are covered be most insurance plans. Jynneos vaccine for Monkeypox/Mpox and Smallpox is available in two doses 4 weeks apart mostly from health departments, but also a select few pharmacy locations in major cities. Condoms can somewhat reduce the areas affected by transmission of Monkeypox, but it will spread to areas not covered. You REALLY do not want the painful lesions on your genitals or inside your mouth or rectum. The HPV vaccine Gardasil9 is available for people up to age 45 in two or three doses. You can get this vaccine even if you had the original Gardasil that only covered four variants. This can prevent genital warts and cancers on poles and in holes. Hepatitis A and B Vaccines are still available. Treatment for Hepatitis C now exists. There are separate vaccines for Meningitis B and ACWY plus a new one that covers all five together. These are mainly recommended for certain populations living or working in group settings, but can also be given to men who have sex with men along with booster doses every few years. What was called the FC2 Female Condom is now the FC2 Internal Condom. It can be used vaginally or anally by any gender. These are only sold by prescription and covered by many insurance plans, but some pharmacies will not order them (Rite-Aid does). These are non-latex and can be used with any type of lubricant, unlike latex or polyisoprene male/external condoms. You could cut these open to make a non-latex dental dam. FC2 Internal Condoms are also often given out for free at the same places as dental dams listed below. Dental dams are used for STI reduction during oral-anal or oral-vaginal sex. They are usually latex and often given out for free by health departments, sexual health clinics, and Planned Parenthood. Syphilis, Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea rates have been rising for many years mainly due to lack of condom usage. There is now an option for some people to take the prescribed antibiotic Doxycycline one time after an unprotected sexual encounter. This greatly reduces, but doesn't eliminate, the risk of catching these three infections. This is referred to as DoxyPEP. For HIV, there are several prevention methods. Condoms are the cheapest and easiest method, but they do not have the highest prevention rate. PrEP or Pre Exposure Prophylaxis can be around 99 percent effective if strictly followed. A shot can be given every two months. There are a few options for pills as well, whether daily or "on demand" using a 3-2-1 method. PEP or Post Exposure Prophylaxis is also available if you're not on PrEP and have a high-risk encounter or a condom breaks, but this can involve taking higher doses of the PrEP meds for a month along with a second drug and this may cause a higher level of side effects. There are many options for HIV testing, including over the counter at-home test kits. Covid, flu, pneumonia, RSV, polio, shingles, MMR, and TDaP, vaccines are also recommend for everyone annually or throughout life at different ages, but some can be given earlier or more often if you're immunocompromised or have health risk factors. Most of these covered illnesses can be passed along during sex.

Thanks my friend. It does happen, education on this stuff is key👌🏼
Loving it. Not the STDs but the videos great
Much appreciated😄

Did you find out the answer ? 😶 and how would they test for those things in the throat? Heard that’s almost impossible to get a conclusive result…😶
