BACKGROUND: The rate of transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections from female to female is a matter of debate. Sexually transmitted disease among lesbians and female bisexuals is usually associated with sexual contact with men or intravenous drug use. There is little evidence that female-to-female transmission of syphilis can occur. GOALS: To demonstrate that female-to-female transmission of syphilis can occur through oral-genital sex. STUDY DESIGN: Case report of syphilis transmission from one female to another through oral-genital sex. CONCLUSION: Female-to-female transmission of syphilis can occur through oral-genital sex.
