STD infection possibility ?
Posted: 03-02-08 19:23pm

It may be odd to ask this question... I'm 25 years old... I have GF in my country, but sadly i had to leave coz i had this GREAT JOB POSITION somewhere else... well I'm in a foreign country for almost a year...
I kept faithful & loyal all the previous time.. but yesterday i couldn't hold it.. I went to a local bar, got a prostitute, & had sex with her.. I dunno anything about her medical records, & i dunno anything about her being infected by any STD's...

now let's come to the real question..

1st, I used a lubricated condom, no artificial lubricant was added, missionary position, the intercourse lasted for about 6 minutes of penetration, I don't think she reached orgasm, & I only kissed her nipple & sucked it once or twice maximum... is there any change i may get infected by HIV, AIDS, or any other sexual transmitted thing ?

2nd, After i reached my orgasm.. my throught became so dry, & it's still dry till now... is that because i'm feeling so guilty & very non-loyal ? or it's some sort of infection ?


I'd appreciate any mature scientific reply... thanks everyone...

i didn't kiss her @ all, i only kissed her nipple once or twice as i said earlier..

I wish 2 read ur answer, coz if there's any chance of me being HIV infected.. I should make the appropriate tests before getting into any other intercourse.. after all i don't want to harm or infect my GF, or anybody else...
waiting for ur replies...

If you used a condom and did not have oral to genital contact then your chances are pretty slim that you have contracted any STD. If you are still unsure, get tested. Your best chances of remaining free of STD's and HIV is to use protection - a condom, which you did. The dry throat? I don't know what to say about that. Perhaps you are coming down with a cold. It is probably completely unrelated. Hope this helps.

You could contract hpv- but there's no test for hpv in men. But it's true, the chances that you caught HIV is definitely low.

I'd still get tested before you have sex with your gf again, just to be on the safe side.

I went to my doctor... he told me that the chance of her being infected with HIV is 1/50... & the chance of getting HIV infection IF SHE'S HIV POSITIVE is about 2/10... sp my chance is about 2/500=1/250 "almost zero"...

however... a test won't harm anyone... I'll make the test in the next 3 to 6 month... & hopefully I hear nothing but the good news...

one thing i'm sure about... I'll never do it with a prostitute again... masturbation is the best thing in life Smile
thanks for the replies...

Yes

HPV can cause cervical cancer in women. It usually shows up as genital warts, but can lie dormant and not show any symptoms for quite a while, so it's really hard to tell if you have it. And there is no test for men. However, there is a vaccine that protects women against the types that most commonly cause cervical cancer- if they have it in your country (Gardisil) it might be worth your gf getting it (regardless of the prostitute thing- it's just good to have)

Chlamydia can also cause serious damage to a woman's reproductive system- and is often present without symptoms. However, there's a pretty easy test for it. I'd recommend you get tested.

Gonorrhea is also an easy one to get tested for and might not show any symptoms- but it doesn't always show up on a test until about 30 days after infection.

Watch for herpes as well- but you would probably have an outbreak by now if you had that (sores in your genital area)

Syphilis- also usually shows as a sore. There's a blood test for it.

Bacterial infections: it would probably be obvious by now if you had one (discharge from your penis)

Most of these std's can lead to worse problems in women- PID- (Pelvic inflammatory disease) which can cause a woman's reproductive system serious damage or even infertility. Which is why it's important that you get yourself the full run of tests. I'm not sure if it would be necessary to test for all of these. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are really easy and common tests.

But like someone said above- you used a condom. So although these are all possibilities, it's not all that likely. If I were you, I'd just let a doc know what you did and the doc will know what tests you should do. And don't be embarrassed, it's a lot more common thann you think! People make mistakes.

Dear all,
actually since the day i made this relation, I'm suffering dry throght, dry mouth, fever,flu, headache, sweatining (only started 4 days ago), & tiredeness .. also i had skin itching for the 1st about 8 days after the intercourse i had... i've read about the flu & fever, it says that they remain for 7 days maximum.. But i'm suffering them for the last 19 days?!?!
the problem is that i live in a foreign country.. & I have no chance of making an HIV test.. because if it's positive, I'll be kicked out of the country forever...

so please, tell me if those are a SERIOUS indicators of an HIV positive case ?

HIV generally stays dormant for quite a while, and certainly doesn't usually show up so soon.

So you have the flu? That's not so bad. Smile

I wanted to add- flu like symptoms are indicative of HIV. BUT- they are also indicative of many many other things, including just being sick. Since you used a condom, chances are low that it's actually HIV.

i hope it's true georgia... coz it's a ONE TIME mistake that i know i'll never do again, I mean I almost lost my gf "i lost her trust for sure :s", also I'm having enough anxiety already... & i hope i don't suffer from it for the rest of my life because of it...
note: i used to be a smoker for seven continous years... i stopped 2 years ago... this could've affected my immunate system against flu & other throght deseases...

yeah

Or you could just get sick! It happens to the best of us.

When will you be able to get tested? For all the std's, not just Hiv. You'll want to do that before you have sex again, just in case (you don't want to give your girl chlamydia or anything Smile
