Why not be vaccinated for Hepatitis A & B? Many places vaccinate kids these days. The CDC recommends children be vaccinated. And Hepatitis C isn't spread by rimming.
I have had my shots, but not all do get them. When I checked with the CDC here
in Chelsea, where I live, I was told that the vaccinations were not necessarily fool
proof. So, I still would prefer to be careful and if I were to rim, or be rimmed, and
use a dental dam.
The CDC doctor told me the following:
Hepatitis C is transmitted through infected blood and if there is a cut, internal
lesion or fissure, although the possibility would be low, it could be transmitted during
rimming.
THERE IS NO VACCINATION AVAILABLE AS YET FOR HEPATITIS "C."
Hepatitis A is transmitted through feces and is easily spread through sexual
contact or even normal household contact.
Hepatitis B is transmitted through the blood and semen.
BOTH "A" & "B" can be transmitted through
UNPROTECTED SEX including "Anal",
"Vaginal", "Rimming", and "Fingering" Sex.
VACCINATIONS:
There is a vaccination for
"A" and it is 100% effective if you complete the full shot
schedule of 2 doses over 6 to 18 months apart. Good for 1 year, but if a booster shot is
given within 6 months and 1 year after the completion of the first shot schedule, the
vaccinaiton will last for 10 years.
There is a vaccination for
"B" and it is 90% effective if you complete the full shot
schedule of 3 doses over a 6 month period. If completed in 6 months, the vaccination will
last for 5 years.
There is also a
combination vaccination for
"A"/"B" with a full shot schedule
of 3 doses over a 6 month period. (I was advised that the combination A/B shots are
not as effective as the separate A & B shots. The combi is good for 5 years.
About 1.25 million people in the US,m and 350 million in the world are infected with A & B.

P.S.
I have found that dental dams, when used properly, do not cut down on the feeling
as I had originally thought they would, and rimming with a Dental Dam was still allowed
for a mind blowing experience too!
SAFE SEX FELLOWS!!!
