Had unprocted oral sex, how worried should I be?
![Former Member](https://us.v-cdn.net/6030621/uploads/defaultavatar/nJHX7Z3NJVPO4.jpg)
So me and my friend (both males) had oral sex (giving and receiving) and kissing yesterday, we were just exploring aspect of our sexuality. He has been sexual active before but I haven't this was my first time doing anything sexual and he's reassured me that he's STD free and I have no reason not to trust him.
I just wanted people's opinion on whether or not you think I should get tested or if I should be worried, I really don't want my parent's finding out etc etc and I do understand the risks of unprotected oral sex. Plus Googling doesn't help one bit.
Just so you know we are both the legal age and everything was done under consent! The experienced helped me understand my sexuality better :thumb:

It's always good to get a STI check up when in doubt, you may trust your friend but if getting the check up reassure you then go ahead. It's worth going on http://www.brook.org.uk/find-a-service where you can find a Brook clinic close to you to get your check up done. Also go on the NHS website where you can locate local GUM clinics and find out more information about how you may get infected.
From my knowledge, many clinics do drop in services specifically for Gay/Bisexuals, giving you a priority and you may not have such a long wait. Others have mentioned the GP, who will also keep things confidential if you don't want your parents to know
Firstly, it's good that you're aware of keeping a check on your sexual health. Although your friend reassured you he had nothing, it's always best to be on the safe side so definitely go ahead and get yourself checked out. As the other posters have said, you'll be able to locate your nearest sexual health clinic through a quick Google search. You could start with your GP, but some people prefer to go straight to a sexual health clinic because they feel more anonymous and at ease, as they know the staff there are seeing people all day everyday about issues relating to sexual health.
Whoever you choose to see, make sure you ask them for free condoms - a lot of sexual health clinics provide them but this isn't always the case with GPs.
