Yes get checked, A) you can never be to cautious. B) the girl may have been infected with pharyngeal gonorrhea or pharyngeal chlamydia these are oral infections which you can be infected from oral sex. C) I have been with my spouse for 5 years this coming October, and I was just recently diagnosed with Gonorrhea. We are very devoted, I am his first and neither of us have been unfaithful, this concludes that I have been infected for more than 5 years... I have had very light symptoms and brushed it off as yeast infections, IBS, or endometriosis. I had gone for paps and nothing had come up(I assumed they checked for STI, Dr. told me no they don't, and women have to get a full STI screening). In fact I spoke to my mother about this, she said that I have had these sypmtoms since before I moved out.. so more than 5 years.. About 3 weeks ago I had a really bad "yeast infection" which didn't go away with over the counter meds. I had seen my Dr. and he did a culture test and test for UTI, there was no UTI, and he also gave me a prescription for an anti bacterial cream. While waiting for results I wound up in the emergency for severe pain. Urine and blood test for UTI and basic infection were clear. Was given pain meds and told to go to Dr. (very frustrating). A few days later I got a call from my Dr. to make an apt. immediately because my cultures came back... went and found out.. it was Gonorrhea.. also found out that this recent severe pain could be caused from having Gonorrhea for a very long time which causes PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease). PID can be cured with antibiotics but not reversed.. it causes scarring in the woman's uterus, fallopian tubes, and in man's epididymis this can both cause infertility. So yes you can have an STI for a very long time with out noticing or not having any symptoms.
Probably, as epidymitis from a STD normally takes a while to develop. A lot more then 2 weeks.
Vance, thank you so much for your answer. One more question. It has made me feel much better. It just seems weird I had Epididymitis right after the incident. Is that just bad luck?
