Just got back from the GUM clinic. Nurse informed me that they are having an increased Syphilis disgnosis in their results. She also said that this is also the case in Leeds and the surrounding areas. I was told to watch out for a single sore or ulcer on my penis. Other sign are a rash on palm of hands or underside of feet and/or on the trunk of the body, these signs then disapear. She told me this was initialy mainly in the male gay community passed on through oral sex but is now being seen in the straight community. She suggested i could ask anyone, about to give me OWO, whether they have a sore or ulcer in their mouth as this is how the infection is passed on.
I didnt realise that Syphilis could be passed on through oral sex. she told me its unlikely to be passed through RO
Just thought this info may be of some use to others.
