Sore throat after oral
| Tue, 11-30-2004 - 6:07pm |
This is really embarrassing. I got really drunk and ended up going home and having sex with some guy I do not even know on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. And I only remember small parts of the night. Like I do not remember meeting him or even his name or how we got to his apartment, but I remember enough to know I had sex and also that we used a condom. But I also remember giving him oral sex (sadly without a condom).
shortly afterwards (like Tuesday morning) I felt like I was coming down with Tonsilitis or Mono or something. I did not go to the doctor b/c I was scared and I did not have a fever and then it cleared up by Thursday. Now I was getting sick before (I had a viral infection in my throat and eye that I saw the doctor about and had pretty much taken care of ) Do you think this was just a sore throat or is this a symptom of something worse like an STD. I am really nervous and I need advice.

Hi jadedflier, welcome!
Oh, hon, I'm so sorry. That sounds like date rape to me! If you want to find him, were you with friends who might know this person? No one can say at this point what the cause of your sore throat was. Do you snore or sleep with your mouth open? That can lead to a very unpleasant sore throat, at least it can for me. Oral probably didn't help your viral recovery either and you might have had a bit of a relapse. STD symptoms, if you get any early ones, generally take a week or two to appear so I wouldn't think that is what you had that quickly. It's not as easy to get an STD through oral as it is with vaginal penetration but it does happen. Given that you know nothing about this person, I think it would be a good idea to get tested for STDs now and again in 6 months just to make sure you are ok. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck and hugs,
Jill
