STD scare?
| Sun, 10-24-2004 - 5:42pm |
Hey y'all, I've been looking up some info on STD's cuz I'm being a little paranoid, hopefully someone can clear some concerns I have. There’s a friend if mine, if you want to call him that, that I've been intimate with lately. We have had oral sex during the last couple of weeks and I haven't notice anything unusual on myself or him. He has told me he's had sex with 4 women before and has been tested. I have never been tested since I've only slept with one guy and it was in a monogramous relationship. Now, extremely foolishly of me, I slept with this guy a couple of days ago. I'm taking bcp's and since he said he was clean, I didn't think much of it when his penis touched my vagina (in terms of pregnancy). However, he put on a condom before we actually had sex. But there was some unprotected contact. Since then I've been experiencing a bit of pain if I touch near my urethra/the top area of the inner labia. I suppose that’s the best region to describe it. There doesn't appear to be any sores, or pain while urinating. But I also know that many STD’s don’t’ have noticeable symptoms. Before we had sex, however, he was touching me a lot, so perhaps the soreness could be from imitation? Am I being paranoid for nothing? I do trust that he wouldn’t lie to me if he had any STD’s but I guess it’s possible for him to have an STD and not know it. Should I just wait it out a few more days to see if the pain goes away? It generally doesn’t hurt if I don’t touch the area. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

I think you're right... It is possible to have an STD and be symptom free. However, it usually takes a week or two for symptoms so appear, so, I think that probably the discomfort you are experiencing now is the result of bruising while he was fingering and penetrating you. If any symptoms do appear or the pain doesn’t go away in a day or two you should see your doctor immediately.
It would be a really good idea for you to be tested and him to be retested for STDs. And you should use condoms until the tests come back showing that that you are both clean. That way you are off to a clean start with your new relationship. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
