Best Answer

Yes. In particular, Hepatits A is considered a sexually transmitted disease (STD), because it can be passed on during intercourse (particularly during the practice of anilingus, or 'rimming') This practice should be avoided, as the HAV is not the only disease that can be spread.

In your intestines there live a personalized bacteria. If you should perform anilingus on another person, you run the risk of a very serious bacterial infection known as C-Diff (Clorstridium Difficile Colitis). The treatment of this bacterial infection is a course of very very strong antibiotics, and these antibiotics have severe side effects.

If you feel the need to perform anilingus on another, please use a dental dam device, and if you are about to have it done to you, request that your partner use a dental dam device. These devices can help stem the transmission of HAV as well.
