How easy is it to catch a std

[MinaTinky246]

Hi please help! How easy is it to catch stds/sti hiv? I have had one unprotected sexual encounter 2 days ago with someone I don't know very well. He said he was clean and was tested before.  He did not ejaculate in me but I'm really worried. Please help

The more common std, would be gono and chlamydia and symptoms of these would be a white puss discharge and burning while urinating mostly coming from your urethra about a week after exposure.

Really nothing to be overly concerned about as male/female fall into a low risk group.

Hello

When would I first start to notice any symptoms of stds??!! This happened early Sunday morning... I do suffer from anxiety and I over think a lot so I'm just really stressed! Please help

its just a one time affair.

[MinaTinky246]

And what about hiv transmission?

[Life360_Dave]

Dont be scared odds way in your favor all is ok from a one time affair.

[MinaTinky246]

Why do you say the odds are in my favour?

[MinaTinky246]

Thanks for this - I am really so scared to be honest! It is all my fault I should have known better

Urinating after sex will not prevent std,s at all and only takes one time to contract something. Testing is usually not recommended without symptoms like a discharge or genital sores or burning while urinating but you can test for the below if you want:
1, gono and chlamydia---7 days post exposure
2. herpes---3 months
3. syphilis----6 weeks
4. HIV ---28 days with the duo test.

Okay that's fine.  I heard that you have to have several unprotected sexual encounters on a regular basis in order to catch something? This happened early Sunday morning and I usually urinate after sex- was told this kills bacteria. What's the chances as he didn't ejaculate inside me? When should I go test?

[Life360_Dave]

No but im the community leader here and very familar with std,s and have done extensive research for the past 4 years here.

[Life360_Dave]

Hi asking how easy is difficult to answer as unprotected sex with someone not really familar with is high risk but with HIV you fall into a low risk group if this was between a male and female.
