No symptoms after 4 weeks...
...I had what would be considered a very low risk or no risk encounter (quick manual stimulation), but I'm a bit of a hypochondriac and anxious person. I'm wondering if after 4 weeks with no symptoms I can consider myself most likely free from disease. Of course, I realize some people are asymptomatic, and HPV may take many months to develop. But generally, after 1 month and no symptoms, can one consider oneself safe? Thanks for all you do on this website -- it's one of the few honest and informative websites about STDs. All the best.
Thanks and hopefully you're right. I just cannot get this stupid episode with a risky person behind me. I even saw a dermatologist/STD specialist, who said I had nothing wrong with me. I know it's probably guilt and I should seek psychological help, but I cannot stop checking to make sure there's no new problem/growth/bump down there. And the Internet, with all its contradictory assessments, certainly is not my friend. Just want to know at what point I can consider I don't have any STDs.
Forget about it you have zero risk. I am sure the doctor will agree. See many other posts on this subject.
I have been through exactly what you r going through. Try to put it out of your mind. You r going to be fine. Trust your doctors stay off the internet.
