Should we gargle mouth with betadine gargle after having a session of oral sex? Does it clean well and keeps away from infections?

Hello- If you have open sores on the genitals and you are receiving oral sex, or open sores or bleeding gums and are giving oral sex there is an increased risk of transmitting infections. Do not clean your teeth, floss or use mouthwash, eat food such as toast, crisps just before or just after having oral sex. This is because all these can cause small cuts in your mouth making it easier for infection to pass from one person to another. If you want to rinse your mouth before or after oral sex use plain water.
