I'm curious about oral activities and I'm wondering if it's safe. Can you catch any diseases from doing it? If there are risks, how can someone do it safely? If not, is it okay to keep doing it?

Oral-genital contact can carry the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HPV. It's important to practice good hygiene, use protection like dental dams, and ensure both partners are free of infections for safety. If you're unsure, it's best to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

I'm being treated for Tuberculosis Epididymitis, but I haven't had a clinical diagnosis. The treatment was given based on clinical signs. I'm wondering, once the treatment is over, should a TB blood test come back negative?
