Question Regarding Std
Posted: 05-25-05 19:29pm

I recently had unprotected vaginal/anal sex with an std-free partner (who visits the gynecologist on a regular basis - i.E. Monthly). After the intercourse (for a few days) I experienced a slight irritation of the penis, nothing very outstanding, just slight irritation/discomfort. Is this normal?

Ouch!

Visits the obgyn monthly? Well, if she has to visit the obgyn monthly for std panels (kind of like what your positing is indicating), you have some issues to resolve.

First, you should not be having unprotected sex and risk infection from a woman who claims to be std-free. You are looking for problems and they will creep up on you.

I'm not trying to freak you out, but in my honest opinion you'll be seeing your doctor shortly. You need to run some tests because your penis is feeling some form of discomfort. Outstanding or slight pain doesn't mean no infection. Got it!

Great!

Now go to the doctor and run the tests. When everything comes back negative, change your sexual practices and protect yourself. Further, please protect the next woman who may innocently have gotten involved with you.

After week 13, please take an hiv test. Yes, an hiv test. Yes again, an hiv test. Yes again and again, an hiv test. This is because you put yourself in a very risky position. I don't care what the woman looks like, how many credentials she has, how many doctors she visits, nothing! You must not take a statement from a woman who claims to be std-free.

As a male, I think that it is our responsibility to wear protection. Forget the female, we should demonstrate the practice of safe sex. After marriage, and with full disclosure of medical records, unprotected sex is then an option, but you must be careful about pregnancy and the reality of producing a child.

Good luck, and get back to me!

I hear a lot of people here speak about having protected sex and screaming at people for not. Well, I had protected sex with both of my partners and still got an std. Condoms do not prevent things like hpv and genital herpes; these std's come from simple genital to genital contact. I mean..Using condoms is key, but to definitely protect yourselves out there, abstinence is key or making sure that whomever you choose to have sex with is who you want to be with. It is also a good idea to go get tested together before anything goes down, but how often does that happen? I thought that condoms prevented most stds, but was sadly mistaken. And to answer your question, yes, an std like hpv or genital herpes or aids could take a while to manifest itself and show....But most likely not. It might have just been the type of lotion you were using. I am sure that your bumps have went a way by now.
