throat infection and blow jobs?

[embress.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone.

I was wondering if anyone can answer a question for me. Can you get a throat infection from giving a guy a blow job?

I came down with a wicked case of tonsilitis the day after I was with a guy where I went down on him sans-condom. And it occured to me that last time I got diagnosed with tonsilitis was the day/few days after I did a similar thing - so I couldn't help but think these two things may be related?

I was a little too embarrassed to ask my doc (as it wasn't my normal doctor) but I was wondering if anyone on here had any answers about it and maybe could explain it to me if they are related?

Thanks everyone.
