RESUMO
RESUMEN: La odontología está en búsqueda de miradas más integradoras, una de ellas se relaciona con la sexualidad. La educación sexual en odontología, ha tenido escasa representación curricular, instalándose más desde lo curativo que de lo preventivo. Este estudio evaluó el grado de conocimiento, las conductas y motivos relativos a los métodos preventivos y al riesgo asociado a las prácticas de sexo oral, en estudiantes de odontología de una universidad chilena. Material y métodos: Este estudio cuantitativo, transversal y analítico, utilizó como instrumento de recogida de datos, una encuesta anónima y autoaplicada, en 50 estudiantes voluntarios. Este instrumento indagó acerca de las condiciones relativas a salud sexual, específicamente en prácticas de sexo oral. Los análisis estadísticos fueron realizados utilizando los programas SPSS® v20 y Excel®. Resultados: En cuanto a los conocimientos de métodos preventivos para prácticas de sexo oral, además del condón, otras barreras fueron poco conocidas (13%). El 90% reportó haber practicado sexo oral alguna vez, de estos, 78% no utilizó barreras de protección. De los que reportaron haber usado barrera, el 100% utilizó condón. Conclusiones: Los conocimientos, conductas y motivos en salud sexual denotan un conocimiento deficiente relativo a métodos preventivos para prácticas de sexo oral y su riesgo asociado.
ABSTRACT: Dentistry is in search of more inclusive points of view, one of them related to sexuality. Sexual education has had little curricular representation in Dentistry, being approached more from a curative point of view rather than a preventive one. This study evaluated the degree of knowledge, conduct and motives related to preventive methods and the risk associated with oral sex practices among dental students of a Chilean university. Materials and methods: This quantitative, transversal and analytical study used an anonymous and self-applied survey on 50 voluntary students. The instrument inquired about conditions related to sexual health, specifically oral sex practices. Statistical data was analyzed using softwares such as SPSS v20 and Excel. Results: In terms of knowledge about preventive methods for oral sex practices, aside from condoms, other barriers where little known (13%); 90% reported having practiced oral sex once, and among these, 78% didn't use protection barriers. Of those who reported having used a barrier, 100% used condoms. Conclusions: Knowledge, conducts and motives in sexual health report a deficient knowledge of preventive methods for oral sex practices and their associated risk.

Background: Although the risk of sexually transmitted infections is far greater during vaginal and anal sex than during oral sex, increasing practice of oral sex and low rates of barrier method use will probably increase the relative importance of oral sex as a route of transmission for genital pathogens. Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate knowledge and attitudes about oral sex and sexually transmitted infections, as well as oral sex practices, both among heterosexuals and homosexual men and to compare those two groups. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from consecutive sexually active male patients who ever had oral sex and who attended counselling for sexually transmitted infections at the City Institute for Skin and Venereal Diseases in Belgrade from March to June 2016. One dermatologist interviewed all participants. Results: The study included 359 men who ever had oral sex, 95 (26.5%) homosexual and 264 (73.5%) heterosexual men. In comparison with heterosexual men, homosexual men had considerably more lifetime sexual partners and oral sex partners during the past 3 months, and significantly more frequently practiced oral-anal sex. Oral-sex related knowledge of all participants was unsatisfactory [correct answers were given by 95 (26.5%) to 277 (77.2%) participants], but it was significantly better in homosexual men than in heterosexual. Frequency of condom use and human immunodeficiency virus testing was also significantly higher in the case of homosexual than heterosexual men. Limitations: The study was not performed in representative sample of population. It was restricted to the patients. Consequently it is questionable whether the results obtained could be generalized. Conclusion: Oral sex related knowledge deficits and risky oral sex practice exist in both homosexual and heterosexual men. These findings indicate a need for effective public health campaign and patient education about the risks of unprotected oral sex.
RESUMO
ANTECEDENTES Y OBJETIVO Crecientemente se está evaluando que la práctica del sexo oral presentaría algunos riesgos, tanto en la transmisión de ITS, como en el riesgo de desarrollar eventualmente otras enfermedades como, por ejemplo, cáncer. Las barreras para sexo oral son dispositivos utilizados para la prevención de Infecciones de Tranmisión Sexual (ITS) o VIH/SIDA. En este contexto, el Departamento de Prevención y Control de VIH/SIDA e ITS de la División de Prevención y Control de Enfermedades (DIPRECE) solicitan esta síntesis rápida de evidencia, con el objetivo de conocer la efectividad del uso de barreras bucales durante el sexo oral para prevenir el contagio por ITS. METODOLOGÍA Se formuló una estrategia de búsqueda para ser utilizada en las bases de datos PubMed, Cochrane Library, PDQ Evidence, Health System Evidence, Health Evidence, EVIPNet Global, LILACS, Google Scholar, PsycInfo y CINAHL, con el objetivo de identificar revisiones sistemáticas del tema. Al no encontrar este tipo de estudios, se procedió a buscar estudios primarios asociados al contagio de ITS por vía de sexo oral. RESULTADOS -No se encontró evidencia que evaluara la efectividad de las barreras bucales para la prevención de contagio de ITS o VIH/SIDA, durante la práctica de sexo oral.

Five hundred seventeen male patients with gonococcal urethritis at the VD clinic of Chocng-ku Public Health Center between Feb. 27 and Oct. 27, 1984 the were source cf this study. Forty-five of seventynine patients who had practiced cunnilingus were actual subjects of this study. Aeiss.ria gonorrhoeae were cultured from the pharynx of five patients: one was found to be PPNG. All 5 pharyngeal gonorrhea patients were asymptornatic and their throat appeared to be normal, except injection of the pharynx in one patient. Two patients infected by non-PPNG were administered an oral dose of 1. 0 gm probenecid plus 2 5 gm talampicillin and 2. Ogm Kanamycin sulfate, IM and one patient infected by non-PPNG was administred an oral dose of l. Ogm probenecid and, 3i) minutes later, 6. 0 m.u. fortified procaine penicillin G IM. One gatient infected by PPNG was administered an oral dose of 1, 0 gm probenecid and 30 minutes later, 1 vial of sulbactam sodium/ampicillin sodium, IM. All four pharyngeal gonorrgeal patients were cured, One patient was lost from further evaluation, We consider it important to have pharyngeal cultures done on all gonorrheal patients, at least on those who admit having had orogenital contact in recent episode, because pharyngeal gonococci may be the source of disseminated gonococcal disease and in rare circumstances, the source of mfection for sexual partners, and single lose spectinomycin and orally administered penciillin regimens that are effective against anogenital gonorrhea, had been known to have high rates of failure when used in the pharyngeal gonrorhea.
