A bit anxious

[sureshot]

I went to Montreal for the New Year and ended up having an escort over for a "Girlfriend Experience." She was new to the business (only two weeks), so presumably she has not been exposed to too many clients. However, fact still remains that I took a bit of risk - I had unprotected oral sex both ways (she gave me a bare back blow job but did not ingest my ***) while I performed cunnilingus on her for about 3-5 minutes. I am worried because I had chapped lips at the time. I also had protected sex with her, but as I withdrew, the condom slipped out (I am confident that my penis was protected at all times while I was inside her - the condom only slipped out when I was withdrawing).
I know the only way to be sure is to get tested. As of now, I have no symptoms of any STDs, but I guess it is too early for most of them to emerge. How worried should I be, and do you advise my getting tested for all STDs?

You describe a very low risk sexual exposure.  Condom slippage on withdrawal probably is not a risk at all, and oral sex is very low risk, chapped lips or not.  I do not recommend any STD or HIV testing after this sort of exposure.  But if my reassurance doesn't ease your mind, be tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV in about 6 weeks.

Good luck-- HHH, MD

hello, and thanks for the info you've provided for everyone who visits this site. I'll get straight to the point, I got married on the 1st ,January 2006. My wife and I both did our test Re; VDRL's and found them to be negative....great news its it? well here's the bad news, on my Bachelors party night (2days before we got married)I had sex with an ex girlfriend. and yes we used a condom, or at least it started off that way, cause it broke and neither of us knew, untill the act was done... Inebriated at the time it didn't matter cause we were old lovers, however, it remained on my mind, and after a I got married I noticed that I got this tingling feeling in my Urethra, a slight burning when urinating, and what always feels like a discharge coming from the tip of my penis...thing is there isn't anything there, its dry. I had my ex do a test for me from HIV to the full range of STD's all with a negative result, this being the case and I'm not complaining here, what could be the reason for this? I visited a GP who informed me that I had a UTI, and was given Serviflox 500, this seem to work for awhile then it came back 2 days later, same burning...thing all over again. Now what I  neglected to mention to you was my wife and I have anal sex ( without a condom) and there would be times when I would get this sort of feeling, only difference is its gone either in a couple hours or by a days time,however, this time it didnt we haven't had anal since this occured .. is this an STD? if not what is it? should I be tested..should my wife? is this because of having anal sex? or could it be something more? I know its gonna be hard to diagnose this problem without physical consultation. Please help and thanks for your time

New question.  For a response from me, start a new thread.  But your own conclusion seems accurate.
