Discharge or Pre-ejaculate? Freaking out
Hello Doctors,
I'm married but a couple of weeks ago I had an encounter with another male. We both performed unprotected oral on each other. We did this for about 5 minutes. There was no ejaculation in the mouth, but we may have each had pre-*** in our mouths from the other person. It was dark, so I could not see if there were any sores or lesions. Don’t believe so. Person stated he was STD free and HIV neg before and after enouncter.
Anyways, 3 days after the encounter in the mid-morning I noticed a very small clear stuff in the opening of my uretha. I had to open it to see. Looked just like pre-***, just a little/sticky/very clear/no odor. I was aroused earlier in the morning (2-3 hours prior), and not sure if I urinated before. I freaked. Took 2 500mg Amoxicilin pills. The next day, I don’t remember if I took another 500mg Amox, but got tested (4 days after exposure). Everything negative. Ended up taking 7 more 500mg of Amoxicilin for 3 days after. Today (13 days after exposure), the same clear, sticky substance at tip of my penis in the morning (right at wake-up before urination). I was aroused during the night and woke up hard/semi-erect. It isn’t discharging, I had to open to see and touch it. Pretty sure it is pre-***. Does not look white AT ALL. Clear, odorless. I have no other symptoms.
My questions:
We’re the 4 day tests reliable for chylamadia and gonorrhea? Did the Amoxicilin kill Syphlilis if I had it? Is the discharge really discharge or is my mind playing tricks on me? And if I go get tested at 18 days (6 days after my last Amoxicilin pill), is that reliable? Should I even bother getting tested?
Freaking out as I don't want to give my wife anything. Haven't had sex/masturbated since encounter. Not sure what to do.

The amoxicillin you took would prevent syphilis, if exposed.
Worrying about HSV is a non-issue. If you do not develop sores/lesions in the 14 days after exposure, there is no reason to worry. Testing for HSV is not recommended.
With regard to your "what if" about gonorrhea and chlamydia (which I already told you is not a concern) anything is possible. Of course, you could be struck by a speeding glacier while reading this too.
Please, enough of the "what if"s. and repetitive questions. If you feel you must be tested to assuage your guilt, the tests I would recommend are only gonorrhea and HIV for the reasons I have already stated. EWH

Thank you for your quick response.
Dr., What about syphilis? Would my dosage of Amoxicilin cured that? Also, what about herpes and HIV, do I need to worry about that. I want to narrow down which STDs I should test for, as I don't have insurance and don't want to spend money on something that is not necessary.
Also, in regards to gonorrhea and chlamydia, is it possible that the Amoxicilin could have cured it instead of hiding it's symptoms?
At 6 days after taking the Amoxicilin would a test for gonorrhea be valid? As for the entire 18 days, if I can afford a full panel, would it be valid for Gon, Chyl, Syphillis, Herpes, and HIV?
Thank you.

Welcome to our Forum. I'll be pleased to comment. Assessment of what is really going on is somewhat hampered by your self-medication. The problem with self-medication is that sometimes (as in your case) people take medications that may obscure a diagnosis but not cure the problem. this in turn can lead to smoldering infections. Your amoxicillin might have had activity against gonorrhea and slight activity against chlamydia (which actually is not a problem since oral chlamydial infections almost never occur or rare transmitted).
From your history, I suspect that what you have noticed is simply pre-ejaculate present as the result of your nocturnal arousal. If you had and STD I would expect some discharge during the day and for it to be present day after day, not intermittently. Further, I suspect that because of your concerns, your awareness is heightened making it somewhat more likely that you have noticed secretions which were present form time to time before your encounter as well. That said, there remains a small possibility that you could have acquired non-gonococcal urethritis or (still less likely) gonorrhea through the exposure that you describe. To that end, I suggest that to be completely sure you seek evaluation by a knowledgeable clinician who can evaluate you for these problems at least 6-7 days after your last dose of amoxicillin.
I hope my comments are helpful. EWH
