Catching STDs from foreplay
- Q: Can I get an STD
[Sexually Transmitted Disease] from sucking on a girl's breasts? From fingering
a girl in the vagina?
- Dr. Klein: The possibility
of getting an STD in these ways is very small. If the woman is currently
breastfeeding, it is theoretically possible to catch a virus from her breast
milk. And if you have a cut on your finger, it is also possible to catch
something through her vaginal fluid. But both of these are extremely unusual.
