Public Health Ministry Warns Against Unprotected Oral Sex

Public Health Ministry warns against unprotected oral sex

The Ministry of Public Health is warning those who practice oral sex against HIV, Herpes, Gonorrhoea and Syphilis, and also suggest that couples avoid sex when a partner has a flu.

Md. Sombat Thanprasertsuk (สมบัติ แทนประเสริฐสุข), director of Bureau of AIDS, TB and STIs at the Department of Disease Control, said prevention and solving of the AIDS problem has been a national policy since 1991. This year the target is to keep the number of new AIDS patients to no more than 16,000. In the youth group the aim is to increase the rate of condom use to 60% while the encouragement for 100% condom use in the sex workers group will continue. He said 24 million condoms have already been prepared.

Md. Sombat said at present there is increasing practice of oral sex. Although this is not a deviancy or abnormality there is a chance to contract AIDS, Herpes, Gonorrhoea and Syphilis if there are wounds in the mouth of the performer. If the recipient is alredy infected with STDs then there is higher chance he/she would become infected via HIV through such practice. He said the safest way is to use appropriate protection.

He also said sex should be avoided if a partner has a flu, as the virus would be present in the mucus lining the various membranes in the nose, the oral cavity and the vaginal passage.

My mother always told me to be careful of what I put in my mouth!

Also, Do you know the difference between love and like? Spit or swallow.

That's an awful lot of rubber that was used to produced them. No wonder there is a shortage of rubber in Thailand.

Excuse my ignorance, but can HIV really be transferred through mucus? Or is it through the blood splattered particles in the mucus?

For example, if someone with HIV were to blow their nose into their hands, then rub this handful of mucus vigorously into an open wound on someones arm, would this person then have a high risk of contracting HIV?

Anecdotally, I've noticed more sexually transmitted warts around these days, which would be a sign of higher risk factors for other diseases. However, the oral vector is a poor one for warts, and herpes and other sores are usually noticeable (and gonhor. and syph. are at least curable). The risk of HIV transmission is so small as to be nearly nonexistent. This is a very low integrity scare piece designed, once again, to tell young people that sex is bad, bad, bad, and if you have sex you'll die. No attempt whatever made to distinguish between different types of risk from differen types of disease.

Chances are minimal, but if you want to be 100% guess this is correct.

The condoms should be of the "DUNDEE" brand!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bottlerocket]

Never thought they could be so practical. I thought for sure they'd claim you'd get a baby in your stomach if you swallowed it.

Try telling Singapore that ! There, oral sex was illegal until quite recently; now it is only legal if used as foreplay, so if you are arrested for having oral sex thay must be able to prove you weren't going to follow up with "normal" (penetrative) sex.
