From tinggling at tip of penis to bladder discomfort

[bladderbladder]

Hi,

I went to a massage parlour. No penetration  whatsoever but the masseuse did touch herself profusely and masturbated me. She also very liberally used massage oil when mastubrating me and also used her feet on my penis. The tip of my penis also very briefly (1 second) touched her (dried)vaginal lips when she tried moving on the table. Two days later, I had sex with my girlfriend. A quicky without ejaculation. Four days after masseuse experience, little tinggling (nor pain) and maybe some light redness at the tip of the penis and a frequent envy to pee (no pain again). No discharge, no odour.

The doctor took urine samples and gave me a prespcription of 8 days of Cipro XL 1000mg. The tinggling and envy to pee stopped within 48 hours. I have taken the full medication and now my bladder kinda hurts (discomfort) and my frequent envy to pee came back. Also, if I don't drink enough and my urine is yellow, there is mild tinggling after I pee but if I drink plenty, I don't experience the tinggling.

1) Any advice as to what it could be? 2) Has the Cipro regiment failed? I have yet to received the STI test results but do you think it's an STI (Chlamydia)? Was I "contagious" 2 days after being contaminated?

thanks

You could not have acquired any STD from the exposure you describe.  Your symptoms are classical for genitally-focused anxiety.  Almost certainly your symptoms persisted or returned after the cipro because you didn't have an infection, i.e. there was nothing for cipro to treat.  (Your doc probably prescribed it as a precaution, not because he diagnosed anything.)  There is no risk to your regular partner.

Continue to follow up with your doc if your symptoms persist or you remain concerned.  But truly, don't worry about this.  You don't have an STD.

Good luck--  HHH, MD

Should I worry about HIV? Could HIV be transmitted in tandem with the chlamydia if chlamydia is what I got?

I guess I should have said that if you have an STD, you didn't get it at the massage parlor. I cannot comment on whether there might be risk from your regular partner or someone else, depending on when or if either of you had sex with other people.  But there is no way you caught either chlamydia or HIV from the massage parlor exposure.

If either your or your girlfriend have had sex with anybody else in the last few months--for example, if she is a relatively new partner--then she should be checked for STDs.

Thanks for your response. One last question for the sake of easing my mind, please.

She did insert her fingers inside her vagina and inside her anus and then masturbated me (not circumcized). So she did have avginal and anal fluids on her fingers when she touched me.

I understand that the risk of STD transmission (including HIV) in such events is rare but can it be FULLY rulled out? No risk whatsoever?

Won't be bugging you, promised!

Is such transmission biologically plausible?  Yes.  Does it happen with measurable frequency?  No.  Working in a busy STD clinic with 15,000 patient visits per year, I have never seen a case of apparent hand-genital STD transmission.

Just as an FYI, I was somewhat in a similar situation, however it was at a strip club in Tijuana and the stripper gave me a handjob. During the handjob, she rubbed her vagina on numerous occasions and proceeded to rub my urethra. I went to get tested 9 days after this incident and the doctor told me that I had gonorrhea. Now I'm freaking out about HIV. I think the doc is right in his assessment that it doesn't happen often, but I do believe it's possible, b/c it happened to me. From what everyone's been telling me, I should still not worry about HIV since it's harder to get than other STDs. But in my situation, I could not have gotten the gonorrhea from any other source.
