Ways to stay healthy

STIs are also in poop and saliva. Gonorrhea is for example transmitted through saliva and slime from your throat. A lot of intestinal diseases like shigellosis can make you really sick. 

This way you can prevent getting sick:

Are the gums in your mouth bleeding? When you give a blowjob, you have a higher chance of getting an STI. Let a dentist check your teeth regularly.
