QUESTION
I was having oral sex and the guy I was with came on my face and some got in my eye. What risk is there to getting infected?

ANSWER
There is a risk for the bacterial infections (gonorrhea and chlamydia) to be transmitted this way, but the viruses (Hepatitis B and HIV) would be very rarely, if ever, transmitted this way. If your eye becomes red, painful, itchy or develops a discharge, best to see a doctor.

To your health,
Dr. K
