Is it possible that I may have contracted an std?

[Aelly]

I had my first gay experience a week with a man and we started off masturbating together and then proceeded in fingering. He fingered me and I let him rim and then proceeded with anal sex. That was only for 5 mins and I told him to get off. He used a lot of water soluble lubricant and he did not ejaculate inside and he did not pre-cum inside of me. We then went into the shower and he gave me unprotected oral for a few seconds. We masturbated again with him fingering me again. Ever since then, I regretted that day. I have been on pins and needles all day every day. He is clean and this was the first person I had sexual congress with in four years. I never want to do that again. I worry because every little cough I had or tiny itch I had, I get paranoid in believing I may have contracted a std. I get a needle like sensation every time I think about it but when I don't think about it, it stops. I frequently check my anal cavity and anus every time I enter the bathroom and check my penis to make sure I don't have anything. I just don't know anymore, can someone help me please?

Sorry sir, just being unsure, is all. It won't happen again.

I guess you're right about the encounter, I didn't bleed after the encounter or did I have any fevers or flu-like symptoms. No painful urination or discharges of any kind. Is it just panic after all? I also found out that it could be folliculitis. I had no bumps or collection of blisters on or near my genitals at all. There should be no hair present in the scab at all, right? Its red and get smaller and smaller by the day. I would have develop some blisters or sores right after the shocking sensations, right? I had that for a week and a half and it calmed down right after I calmed down and drank some cranberry juice.

3 months is for a HIV test. And you had protected sex which is not a risk for HIV.

Gonorrhea-1 week, syphilis 6-weeks and herpes 3-4 months for testing.

I see nothing that makes me think you got a STD from your encounter.

I know but anxiety is bothering me. I can't get tested right away because I hear STDs take time in appearing in your blood. 3 months just to get a conclusive result. Its already two and a half weeks since the encounter. I have dry lips, chappy hands, eyes are red and I just don't know anymore. Just hoping he's telling the truth. So, maybe that one mosquito bite doesnt mean herpes then? It didnt ooze or bleed just dried up and is now a red minimizing scab with a a follicle in the middle of it with hair.

I wouldn't worry about it dude, i'm no expert but i can tell you now you shouldn't be worrying, yes herpes scabs are orange/amber colored but no you do not have any sort of std, if you said your partner was clean, than chances are he dosent have any std, and you can only get an std with somebody that has it. even then theres a chance that you wont contract anything depending on your immune system. you are fine stop worrying.

No I mean I didn't get it out of a mosquito, it looked like a mosquito bite and when I scratched it, nothing happened. No blood or pus. It has been 5 days and it looks like a red scab. Herpes come in yellow or amber, correct? This morning, I took off my bandage covering it and there was another small spot next to it but near the rim of where the bandage had ended. Oh, there is a hair in the middle of the scab. Is this not herpes? I mean I had shocking sensations for almost a week and a half and nothing appears. It doesn't burn when I pee, I haven't had any bumps or spots on my penis, no bumps near or around the anus, and, I just itch. When I sleep, I feel no tingles or burning. When I do think about it, I start to itch and when I examine myself, any little red dot I see or zit anywhere on the body, I panic. Rapid breathing, sometimes dizziness, and my eyes are a bit red. Isn't the area suppose to be painful?

A mosquito bite would'nt give you herpes.


MOVE ON.

But what about the mosquito bite? It was on the upper thigh region but I scratched it and I just have a scab. But that's in the boxer short region which some say it can be herpes related.

[Healthadvisory]

If you had herpes that bump you had would'nt have gone away after a day.

Shocking sensations all anxiety based.

You dont have anything from what you describe.

I had some shocking sensations all over my body for a couple of days up until Jun 4, 2010. But on May 31 2010, I had a red blood filled bump, almost a pimple. I popped it and blood only came out. I clean it with hydrogen peroxide and with topical cream. The next day it was gone. On the same day, June 5, 2010, I had one mosquito bite on my thigh but I was wearing shorts that day too. I scratched it and nothing happened. I got a scab over it and no pus or blood is seeping out of it. I found out yesterday that herpes can be confused for a mosquito bite or insects bites. Isn't herpes supposed to be in clusters instead of one mosquito bite. Its been two weeks after the encounter and I am so nervous.

Protected Anal sex no risk.


Unprotected oral you can get Herpes, HPV, NGU and syphillis. Getting an STD from unprotected oral sex is slim, very low.  I wouldnt get tested unless you get symptoms.
