Hi
my girlfriend told me that it hurts when
she urinates. I have only had one other
sexual partner without protection and we
both got checked after that and how she
thinks I given her something . Should I be
worried that she gave me something. If so
what? Thanks

Hi james,
i'm terribly sorry to hear about your
situation. It sounds as though your
girlfriend might be suffering from a
simple urinary tract infection. Most
women will experience it at some stage in
their lives and you can rest assured that
it is not your fault, as it is not
considered to be a sexually transmitted
disease. Many women who are not sexually
active are also at risk of getting a
urinary tract infection. Your girlfriend
can go to any drug store and purchase
powders that are dissolved in water to
treat the urinary tract infection. She
will not need a prescription for the
powders, although it would be a good idea
for your girlfriend to visit her doctor
for a checkup anyway. It should start to
clear up within 3 - 4 days from starting
the treatment, but it is very important
she treats the infection immediately as it
can work it's way up to her kidneys, which
can be incredibly painful.
Good luck...
Suzy

Also make sure your girlfriend pees after
sex, that also helps to prevent urinary
tract infections.

She told me she has something called
trix(not sure if I spelled it right). I
never heard of this before. Does anyone
know what this is and if I am at risk?

If it is what I think it is, it is
trichomonias (or however you spell it)
definately a curable std...Unlike the one
im stuck with (hpv) so I guess in a
oxy-moronic way....You guys are lucky.
Good luck with that and get cured!
