Last Saturday (9 days ago), I went to a strip club in a shady part of Mexico and got some lap dances. Any possibility of catching HIV or STD (mostly bacterial) from these lap dances? My pants never came off, but the strippers were nude for the most part. Any chance my penis
secretions left on my pants when I went to the bathroom to urinate? I know this seems far fetched, but I've been having a burning sensation during urination and some discharge
, although nothing has "oozed" out. I can't put this behind me because of the symptoms, but I keep telling myself that I wasn't at risk. How long does HIV and other STDs survive outside the body on jeans, for example. Would I be at risk for HIV or other STDs?
Again, I understand it's far fetched, but my symptoms tell me otherwise. Is is worth for me to get tested? I got tested 3 months ago already.
I really appreciate the quick response guys. Thanks for educating everyone on this board. So if you were me, would you simply ignore my symptoms? I don't want to put my g/f at risk. All I see on the CDC's website is if you have burning symptoms while urination, STOP HAVING SEX
Not sure I understand your comment "and it's because of the strip club." Are you saying that b/c I went to a strip club, I might have put myself at risk for STDs?
Oh ok, I see what you're saying. I'm not worried about my g/f having an STD. We were both checked about 3 months ago, and we've been together for some time now. We're both faithful to each other. Plus, we always have protected sex. My only concern was whether I should be concerned about my symptoms after having gone to this strip club. I've gone to strip clubs in the past with no problems. But this place was pretty dirty, and the girls seemed to be willing to do anything (even though I didn't engage in any of that). That's why I was a bit worried about my lapdances. Does HIV or other STDs (gonn/chlam) survive outside the body for more than a couple of seconds?
I am in a similar position. Lap dance Mexican strip joint. I think I have gonorrhea from a stripper touching her vagina then reaching up my shorts to my penus. Waiting for test results. Currently taking the meds. Hoping she didn't give me HIV to. I know HIV is more of a stretch, but I thought the clap was to.
