Thanks Doctor. It was actually one of your responses to another post that had got my concerns up (see below) as it seemed to be a complete unknown so I read it as being as much chance as any that MG could infect the oral cavity and you sound much more confident in your response to me above about the low risk.

A couple of follow ups if I may then:
1. Does this mean that a throat swab from a private clinic such as Freedom Health (who you mention in the link above) for Mycoplasma Genitalium would be unapproved?
2. Would an unapproved test potentially mean a strong risk of false positives?
3. To confirm, my reading on your post above about 'not being able to help very much' was wrong and that you are in fact confident that the risk of transmitting cunnlingus to my partner would be minuscule?
4. Just in relation to your response to my point about a 50% chance, this is irrelevant as if we take a throat swab for ghonnoreah as an example the chance of the swab detecting the infection is in fact very high?
Thanks for your clarification Doctor and thanks for an exceptional service.
