What Causes Burning Feeling On Tongue And Headaches After Oral Sex?
Question: I had oral sex the day after I have a burning feeling on my tongue still after 3 weeks it still isn't gone. Somedays it seems to get better then back to burning also seems to get worse as day goes on . Also I have been having headaches should I be worried about a std or even hiv? Also seems to bother the roof of my mouth sometimes.
Brief Answer:
Fungal/bacterial infection to rule out through throat culture&sensitivity..
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
1. Having a burning feeling the day after performing oral sex is indicating that the person with whom you had oral sex was having problems with his/her genitalia. Usually, fungal infection is often contracted through oral sex.
2. The presence of burning 3 weeks after you had oral sex is also suggesting a possible fungal infection.
As you are reporting that the roof of your mouth is bothering you sometimes, a culture of throat is advised to detect bacterial and fungal infection and determine the right antibiotic or antimycotic medications to use.
3. With regards to headaches, they might be related to being stressed regarding your actual health status or possible viral infection.
4. There are minimal chances to get HIV through oral sex unless you had previously sores or wounds in your mouth. Or if the partner had also sores in his/her genitalia.
Otherwise, minimal chance to get HIV, almost zero.
Hope it answered to your queries!

Ok thanks I know u said the chances are low for hiv. But what sign/symptoms should be paying attention to regarding hiv?
Brief Answer:
No specific symptom,HIV lab check ups in case of risky exposure...
Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Usually, HIV is set silently, with no specific symptom. Regular check ups after unprotected/risky exposure is advised for early detection. In your case, chances for HIV are almost Zero, unless you had other risky sexual behavior that must be followed by HIV check ups.
