On a recent trip I was so drunk I do not
remember what I did with a paid women.
The next day I was so upset I did this and
betrayed my girlfriend. That day I also
felt a slight discomfort with my left side
scrotum but no discomfot or burn when I
urinated. The discomfort in the scrotum
seem to go from left to right but mostly
on the left scrotum. It does not hurt
and when I hold my scrotum and try to feel
for any lumps which there are none also no
discharge or burn when I pee. It is now
a little over a week since that trip and
my scrotum seems to feel better. I guess
my question is how quickly will I
experience symptoms of any std like
chlamydia? Or can it be the amount of
stress that I put myself through thinking
that I got an std and that will ruin our
lives; kids, house and future marriage?

Chlamydia can take 1-3 weeks to manifest
themselves if they even show up. About
75% of infections in women and 50% in men
are without symptoms. I would go to your
doctor right away and he will swab the
inside of your urethra or there are also
other tests which check a urine sample for
the presence of the bacteria.
If you have it, your doctor will give you
oral antibiotics like doxycycline and
recommend your partner be treated as well
to prevent further spreading. I don't
know what state you live in but the law in
california is that if you have an std they
have to contact all your partners in the
last 6 months but they can do so without
telling them your name.
If I were you I would just go to my doctor
and have them run the tests its very
simple and you get the results in like 3-5
days its better safe than sorry because a
lot of these sti's have serious health
risks if they're not treated.

I agree with loaded. I would go to the
doctor. There are a lot of stds out
there, and they can all take different
amounts of time to show symptoms, if they
ever show any at all! Some of them are
very dangerous too. So better than
sorry. You should also get tested soon
to make sure you do not give your
girlfriend anything.
