title: [Manifestations of sexually transmitted diseases on oral mucous membranes].
abstract: Many believe that oral sex is safe sex and does not pose a risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases. Despite the prevalence of oral sex, the number of diagnosed oral and pharyngeal sexually transmitted infection is lower than that of anal and vaginal sex. Oral contact with the genitals can cause tiny micro traumas through which pathological microorganisms that are present in body fluids can come into contact and be transmitted. This article reviews the literature on the role of oral sex in the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and the corresponding clinical presentation or oral diseases.
