Yeah. Every bacterial STI, plus HPV and herpes (though I'm pretty sure they never test for herpes) can be transmitted via oral sex.
Yes I know. But it's also transmitted via normal sex. So why is oral the criteria rather than the regular sex?
"We can have sex as long as you don't go down on me because I don't want to get a panel done"
See- it doesn't make sense
So I read it as he only went down on her, that oral sex was the sex that they had.
If they had vaginal intercourse AND he went down on her, I suspect that like a lot of people they used a barrier method for the PIV but not the oral. People don't tend to think of using barriers during oral even if condoms are pretty normalized for PIV.
I suppose it can be read that way. When I read "we ended up sleeping together" I'm assuming everything was done. Barriers or no- I'm also assuming the same precautions (or lack of) were taken for everything
