Can STD Be Contracted Through Oral Sex?
I had a single encounter of receiving oral sex from a female (I am a man) for about 10 second unprotected. I have no lesions on my penis and she had no symptoms of anything . What are the real risks of contracting an STD through receiving oral sex?

HI, thank you for asking us at HCM!
Yes STD-s can be transmitted through oral sex. There are different STD like Herpes type 1 and 2, gonorrhea etc. Symptoms may appear from a couple of days to some weeks after the act. So please be careful if you have sexual intercourses with many partners and if you don't know if they have a STD. Always use condoms in such cases.
I wish you all the best!
