Forums > STDs > Risks in Performing Rimming
This question is for either Dr. Hook or Hansfield, I would like to know how much at risk did I put myself in for stds and other diseases by performing a rimjob on a women of unknown status. It was only brief, I do not know the exact time now I seem to be thinking it could have been a few seconds (30ish) to a bit over a min. My main concern with reading the internet is a Hepatitis infection. Furthermore, am I virtually guaranteed to get some sort of viral illness that causes diarrhea? What are my chances for escaping this episode with my health 100% unaffected?

Thanks for the response sir it was greatly appreciated, from my understanding of your post the odds should hopefully be in my favor that I escape this incident without getting sick and can continue my regular day-day activities without taking any extra precautions?

Welcome to the forum.
The STD risks associated with rimming (medical term analingus) have never been studied; all I can do is make reasonable judgments based on anatomy, and the frequency of various STDs carried in the anus and rectum.
As you already seem to know, the main infections risked by analingus are viral and bacterial intestinal infections, not traditional STDs. In other words, if you catch anything at all, it probably would cause a combination of nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea for a few days, nothing more. However, you certainly are not "virtually guaranteed" to acquire such an infection. Maybe a 5% chance as a guess; but that's only a guess.
Hepatitis A also is an enteric (intestinal) virus, so you are right to be concerned about hep A -- but not hep B or C. However, hep A is rare in outwardly healthy people and it is unlikely your partner was infected if she has not been sick with obvious hepatitis (jaundice, etc). So although it's a theoretical risk, it's really not a significant worry.
There probably are very low risks for gonorrhea, oral herpes due to HSV-2, and perhaps syphilis (except syphilis currently is rare in the US, except in gay/bi men). Chlamydia doesn't infect the mouth (or only very rarely), and oral HPV infections rarely cause any symptoms or problem. HIV has never been known to be transmitted by analingus and the risk undoubtedly is very low, even if your partner had HIV -- which is statistically unlikely.
If I were in your situation, if after 7-10 days I had no symptoms like oral sores, sore throat, or gastroenteritis, I would not feel a need for testing and would continue unprotected sex with my wife without fear of infecting her. But if you remain nervous about it, visit your local health department STD clinic and follow their advice about screening tests.

The risks: herpes (genital or oral), parasites, hepatitis A, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea
Analingus (also known as rimming) is risky for transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and—because of the presence of stool—for gastrointestinal illnesses as well.
While infections on the skin such as herpes and syphilis can pass between partners during analingus, the person performing oral sex is also vulnerable to parasites, hepatitis A, and other gastrointestinal illnesses, reports Jeanne Marrazzo, MD, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Gonorrhea and chlamydia don't transmit easily between partners during analingus, but it is possible.
Using barrier methods such as dental dams, plastic wrap, or cut condoms can greatly reduce the risk of infections. "One should also consider a hepatitis A vaccination to prevent infection," says Dr. Marrazzo.
Also ensure that your mouth is in good health. Avoid oral sex of any kind if you have cuts, bleeding gums, or open sores in or around the mouth, which can greatly increase your risk of catching a sexually transmitted disease.

Hi Dr.
I wondered the following:
1. I was rimmed a couple of years ago by a man and I wondered if through vaginal sex with my girl friend that was unprotected (both penetrative vaginal sex and me performing cunninlingus) if I could pass ghonorrea or clymidia on to her?
2. Also I had given unprotected oral roughly 10 times to five different men and recieved unprotected oral from several men (roughly 6-8 men) during my relationship with my gf and I worried that I'd have contracted Gonorrea and clyimidia.
I should say that my relationship with my gf started three years ago in aug 2009 and we only had unprotected sex for 6 months roughly before using condoms. Oral sex was always unprotected.
In dec 2010 (roughly a year and a half after we had begun having sex) I was tested and was negative and have had several tests in the following months both throat swabs and urine tests and in September 2011 we both took 1g of azithromycin and 400 mg of cefixime.
My worry is that prior to getting tested, I may have had ghonorrea and or clymidia in the throat or penis and given it to my girl friend and then by the time of testing I would have cleared the infection appearing negative.
My gf is particularly tight in her vagina so she told me she that sex was often sore for her (and I don't think she was well lubricated) - when I fingered her I used one finger as it was so tight, but I worry that the pain she felt during sex could have been caused by an infection caused by clymdia and or ghonorrea.
Neither of us have experienced symtoms excepts gf complaining that during and after sex , she felt pain in her vagina.
3. If she was not well lubricated would it be painful both during and after sex?

Repeating your follow-up questions was unnecessary. The moderators are not on call 24/7.
A person with rectal gonorrhea or chlamydia cannot transmit it to anohter person unless his rectum is penetrated. If you had it (we already discussed why you can be sure you do not), you could not transmit it to your female partner.
Almost all gonorrhea and chlamydia clear up on their own within several weeks or months. The longest proved chlamydial infection was 4 years, in a woman with cervical infection.
Your other questions already were answered above. I haven't changed my mind and see no need to repeat myself.
That will end this thread. Stop worrying about this -- or follow my advice about repeat testing if you remain concerned about it.
Thank you for your comments.
1. As a follow up: I wondered if I were to only have rectal ghonorrea and clymdia, could I through vaginal penetrative sex and me performing cunninglingus on my gf give her clymidia and or gonorrea. Logically I think because the bacteria would only be in my rectum it would be impossible.
I ask because I never was tested for rectal chlamydia or rectal gonorrea.
Secondly, I read about people having an infection caused by clymdia or gonorrea lasting years. But you have said that even if my gf were to have got clymidia or gonorrea it is likely they would have cleared up on their own. I also read of treatment failures and my mind Begins to wander.
2. My greatest worry was that I contracted the bacteria either in my throat or in my penis and passed clymdia and or gonorrea to my gf but cleared my infection before I was tested. Have you ever heard of such a scenario in your medical career?
3.I brought up my gf vaginal tightness or lubrication problems because I wondered if being tight or less lubricated could cause pain d
