Home / Answered Questions / Hi there, I have noticed a scary increase in the amount of ladies offering bbbj (oral on man without a condom) in the industry. Some have convinced themselves this is a low risk practice even though they are indulging in this up to 4 or 5 times a day and for 5 days every week. Could you please make a statement about the risks of this practice so that I may give them information from a professional health care practitioner? Thank you so much for your time and efforts!

Hi

Here are the risks related to bbbj:

• Chlamydia, gonorrhea, HPV, herpes and syphilis are easily passed between both the giver and receiver with a bbbj
• There are no documented cases of HIV being passed to the person receiving a bbbj, so it is not considered a risk for HIV
• HIV is not commonly passed to the person giving a bbbj

Condoms lower the chances of passing most STIs.
