Scared to death, want to die
1 week ago (Oct 23) I had unprotected oral and some protected sex. The girl took the condom off and was masterbating me with hand lotion. I entered her vagina, unprotected, for what was 4 to 6 pumps (about 15 seconds or less) and I ejaculated outside her. She freaked out about getting pregnant but I do not know her status. I had pain in the tip of my penis with the urge to constantly urinate the next day with no discharge. This (UTI) happened once before when I had an encounter with a new partner. I started Cipro that night and took a AVO UTI test. It showed positive for WBC. I took Cipro for 5 days and all discomfort stopped. I drank heavily due to guilt while on Cipro. Today (day 8) I felt like the burning came back, still no discharge or sores on my penis. The Dr. today prescribed Levaquin.
What do you think I have? A case of nerves from being unfaithful or an STD or just simply a UTI? Also what chances of HIV or another STD from this encounter. Do you recommend an HIV test? Did the hand lotion cause the UTI? I am going to have a HIV NAT test at 16 days for peace of mind which is 4 days after the window period for that test.
Your answer means so much to me since you seem to be the only real and informed individual on the web. I can not stop searching the web. I also worry about my wife who is pregnant (please all married men learn from my experience, it is not worth it). I need a truthful answer, which is why I am came to you.

See my original reply.
This thread is over.
This thread is over.
Just one final question. I have had no symptons of anything in 13 days, do you recommend HIV testing from such a brief exposure? I have read your comments to people who have condom failures and it seems they had more exposure than my 4 thrusts.
I just wanted to thank you again for this service and advice. The donation was a very small price to pay for such expert advice.
You should talk to a Priest or someone about all of this since the guilt is so strong. Like the good Doctor said, NO STD SHOWS UP IN A DAY so relax.. I haven't seen this Doctor proven wrong yet and if you read the billion letters on this forum, you will see what I mean.
Thank you for responding. Sorry that I sounded so desperate, I know people have worse worries than I do. I made a mistake and "if I commit the crime I should be ready to do the time". I really am a good guy that made a mistake. I am a PROUD fundraiser for Make-A-Wish, helped to develop a place for orphans in Iraq (abandoned or parents killed), arrange for scholarships for high school children and I am involved in 4 other charity organizations including a pediatric trauma center, all while having a regular job. I am just very disappointed and worried about this "lapse in judgement". I am not proud of my choice, I just needed some honest advice.
To find my partner from October 23 would be very difficult. I just need some advice on should I be worried or move on from this. Is no symptons a good thing? I know good advice when I see it and the positive response to your forum is a positive indicator of your experience.

Settle down. Nobody wants to get an STD, but it's not the end of the world. "I want tpese questions. Distant online advice is always less reliable than that of a provider directly involved in a patient's care.
I never heard of an AVO test, but if your urine had increased white blood cells, it might or might not indicate an infection; which you might or might not have caught during the sexual exposure you describe. But if so, it wasn't the cause of your symptoms, because no STD can cause symptoms in less than 2 days or so. If you took cipro before being tested for STDs, that was very unsmart; it's a good bet you'll never know for sure what is causing your symptoms or the WBC in urine. Levofloxacin (Levaquin) will likely cure whatever was going on, including the common STDs that might cause such symptoms (chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis [NGU], or gonorrhea). You should advise your October 23 partner that you might have exposed her to an STD (or possibly caught one from her). And if you had sex with your wife after your extramarital event, your wife needs to be tested as well to protect her health.
The risk of HIV in this situation is low, but you should continue to follow your doc's advice about testing.
And stop searching the web for symptoms. I have no patients with "I can't stop". That's ridiculous; just do it.

Please answer, I want to live, I am just very scared.
STD's don't show up a day later...
I also use no drugs and I do not engage in anything with men.
