And when I tried to ask her if she was being safe she yelled at me saying that she wasn't having sex and that nothing could happen with what they are doing. I happen to know that you can get STD's by giving oral, but I don't want to make her even more mad at me, but I don't think that she really gets the whole STD thing, and in freshman year we both had to take heath... but our class was only about abstinence and didn't teach us safe-sex skills, like I think they should have.So, now I'm really worried about my friend, but I don't know if I should stay out of it like she said, or try to get her to listen to me?Any advice on what to say/ do, and how to say/ do it??thanksxoxo

reader, anonymous, writes (25 September 2008): STDs are serious. Simply put: They can home from one person to another through fluids. e.g. contact with a wet penis head, vagina, mouth, fingers that just fingered a vagina etc...
So you block this contact with condoms (intercourse & male oral sex), dental dams (female oral sex) etc...
This pamphlet is awesome:

Should you talk to your friend about it? YES!
She's problem already had a bf that she later wondered what she say in that guy. At the time you problem wondered the same this but it would have been hard to tell her that because she was crazy about him, she was blind.
Maybe she can relate to this in the same way. She's "blind" right now. You're not and you're speaking up because you really care about her and you know she won't get a second chance.
