It is recommended for sexually active persons to get tested every three to six months depending on the level of your sexual activity. If you need immediate testing that is discreet and free, you can find a testing site near you by logging on to www.gytnow.org and entering your zip code to find a location that is right for you.
While you are being tested, you can pick up as many condoms as you want (these centers often have a ton of free condoms) to keep yourself in the safer sex zone, and during your next visit to the dentist, you can request a dental dam to use during cunniligus (oral sex) to be used over the vulva. These barriers come in latex and non-latex and they even come in flavors.
So there you have it! Oral sex, vaginal sex and anal sex all present the same hazards of being exposed to STDs/STIs. Educating yourself and protecting yourself by applying what you have learned will keep you healthy, safe and ready to explore your sexuality with a partner that you trust.
