get tested every three to six months depending on the level of your sexual activity. If you need immediate testing that is discreet and free, you can find a testing site near you by logging on to www.gytnow.org and entering your zip code to find a location that is right for you.
While you are being tested, you can pick up as many condoms as you want (these centers often have a ton of free condoms) to keep yourself in the safer sex zone, and during your next visit to the dentist, you can request a dental dam to use during cunniligus (oral sex) to be used over the vulva. These barriers come in latex and non-latex and they even come in flavors.
So there you have it! Oral sex, vaginal sex and anal sex all present the same hazards of being exposed to STDs/STIs. Educating yourself and protecting yourself by applying what you have learned will keep you healthy, safe and ready to explore your sexuality with a partner that you trust.
