Brief Answer:
Regarding STDs

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Rimming can lead to transmission of Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) as well as Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). There is no risk of HIV unless there are open sores and you had breaks in your oral mucosa.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.
