STD from oral

[sorryinsocal]

I recently had unprotected oral from a new woman (stupid i know).  I'm now concerned with the possibility of getting an STD from this.  My research indicates that herpes, chlamydia, gonorhrea and NGU are the most common for men to get from oral.  It also seems that chlamydia and gonnorrea are very rare to get this way.  Any opinion would be helpful.  Also, how long do i have to wait to get tested for chlamydia, gonn & NGU?  I've read 7 days - is that long enough?  Thank you.

Grace - so you don't think this is a new infection of whateve hsv i didnt have?  Was I right about gettng hsv 2 from oral being almost unheard of?  Dr. HHH says he's never seen a documented case of hsv 2 genital from oral/fellatio.

And yes, I'm on 500mg of valtrex every day as a suppressive.  Why would i get a recurrence if I was on that?  Fron the stress over other possible stds?  Is there any way this could be a new infection of a different hsv?  What about it being in a different spot than previous outbreaks (although very close)

Thank you so much for your time and understanding.

correct - it would be a recurrence of your previous genital herpes infection , not a newly acquired additional herpes infection.

did you start a round of antivirals?

Well, it looks like I overlooked the obvious.  6 days post encounter i have typical genital herpes symptoms.  I already have genital herpes (always assumed hsv2 but not totally sure).  If i had hsv 2, i thought getting hsv 1 genitally was very low risk due to antibodies and my daily suppressive therapy.  I also thought that getting hsv 2 from fellation was almost unheard of.   I've been stressed about getting other STD's from this encoounter so i suppose tis could be a recurrent outbreak from my current infecton.  But it's in a different spot.  Any thoughts, ideas, theories would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Thanks again Grace.  For my own peace of mind I'm probably going to be tested anyway.  Testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea should do it, correct?

Syphillis is almost non-existent in the state where this happened and I understand that HIV from oral has never been officially documented.  And I know you can't test for HPV.  So I guess there's nothing else to test for, correct?

Have a great holiday.

hey if you want, I can make you paranoid as all get out :)  Since I am a mom, I can throw in some good healthy guilt too if you want it!

Do people contract std's from oral sex? Indeed they do but overall the risk of such is very low.   It's really not worth the worrying and what if's from it.  I recommend turning off the computer for the next 2 weeks and living your life - at this point all you are doing is making yourself anxious needlessly.

If you take jesse's advice and party, do so responsibly and wear a condom !!!

when i met my doctor, she told me come back after about 10 days for STD tests, but not syph.
She said 10 is good for most common stds, and the result for them is reliable after 10 days.( She said, I trusted her)
