STD through Oral/Freaking out
Not long ago I saw a girl on 3 different occasions. All I performed on her was oral and some fingering. I was concerned about an STD. Saw an STD doctor and he gave me Doxy for a week as a precation, but said it was unlikely I had anything, but this was to be safe.
Prior to that treatment, I had sex with my wife and performed Oral on her with some fingering. Saw other girl one more time. Went one more time to STD doctor and he said probably did not have anything and I have had sex a couple of more times with my wife.
About 2-3 weeks ago she started having trouble urinating. It was frequent, up at night, it would take some time to start, then stop and then start again. She said it hurt/sting and her low back bothered her. We were out of town and I called the guy I saw on the phone (wife does not know he is an std doctor). He said it was probably a UTI. We took a test and the nitrite was neg and the LE positive. He called in 3 days of Cipro. She did nto feel any better. I looked into what the different meaning's of these could be and it suggested that a positive LE and Neg. Nitrite was an STD. I began to freak out that I gave her an STD. I also saw that Chlam would be treated with Zithro. I had some that I had not used from a Sinus Infection. She took it at my request (1,000mg-2 pills) in case I may had exposed her, but one Monday did not feel any better. I know a person that is a PA for a urologist. He said she should have had 7 days and called in more. She has now been 3 more days and not feeling better.
I went an had STD test done at local clinic. All came back negative today. Could not do a throat for Chlam. and they told me to take Doxy as a precaution. Throat was neg. for Ghon?
I am scared I got an STD from the oral and gave it to her when I did oral on her. The SF Clinic has oral given to a woman as essentially no risk for chlam. Other places say it will pass. I am so confused and scared that I have ruined my marriage. Please give me your thoughts.

Yes, 1000 of azithr would kill chalmydia but as I told you, she did not get chlamydia from you. She needs to have her UTI evaluated and you need to worry about something else. EWH
I was re-reading the post as sometimes the first go around I do not catch thing's clearly and I realize I may have mistated something. I read your comment about the PA being incorrect about the Zithro. I gave my wife the Zithro that I had over the weekend. What the PA was saying was that the Cipro should have been for a week, not 3 days as given by the other doctor when we were out of town. He prescribed 7 more days of Cipro. Therefore, she had 3 days of Cipro (no result) and then the (1,000mg-Zithro) 2 pills at once. Then a couple of days later, she started Cipro again for a week. I'm sorry, I wrote that incorrectly and I can see how it looked like the PA prescribed another week of Zithro, but that was not the case, it is Cipro. Would 1,000mg Zithro kill Chlamydia if there was a possibility of an infection?
Thanks again...this will be my last question.

Your questions reflect anxiety. As a policy, we do not deal with "what if” questions as we could do so forever rather than being able to address people's problems. I will briefly address your concerns below,
1. Your culture is negative. Whether you had gonorrhea and it was cured (unlikely) or never had it is immaterial. You do not have gonorrhea. The scenario of getting gonorrhea and then transmitting it to your wife is a "what if" and unrealistic.
2. The handful of oral chlamydial infections reported in the medical literature effectively proves that this is not a concern. There is no point in debating by proxy with people who believe it is.
3. Your wife’s symptoms are totally consistent with a UTI. A culture for UTI would not detect STD- the tests are different.
4. If you wife has a UTI which is not being treated with what she is taking, she should discuss that she takes Embrel with her doctor. it is not a drug that I use often.
Please, no further what ifs. You do not have an STD. Your wife should have her symptoms dealt with by a physician, not be a guilty husband who is worried that his activities have jeopardized his wife's health and his marriage. EWH

Welcome to the Forum. You are panicking and possibly over reacting to your guilt over your interactions with your other, casual partner. it is time to relax and realize that you do not have an STD and that you wife may have a UTI but certainly does not have an STD related to the exposures you describe. Please be aware and remember that:
1. Chlamydia is not transmitted by oral sex.
2. STDs are not spread through masturbation (fingering)
3. The tests for STDs are VERY, VERY sensitive and would have detected infection if there was one present.
4. The doxycycline you took would cure most STDs if you had one.
5. The azithromycin would have cured your wife is she had chlamydia (the PA you spoke to in incorrect)
6. You do not comment on your wife's UTI symptoms but it sounds as though that is what she had and if so, the cipro would cure most but not all infections. If she still has symptoms, she should be seen and have a urine culture. She does not need to worry about STDs from the activities you describe.
Hope this helps. EWH

Your last question was deleted, so will future questions. My guess is you are trolling the internet to evaluate your risk for infection - bad idea.
Trichamonas is not tranmitted by oral sex and if you had NGU9 most unlikely) it would have been treated by the doxycycline.
There will be no further answers. EWH

Thank you for your help...not being to familiar with these things. Is there any possibility of Trich or NGU being transmitted?
I really appreciate your response and the time you took to address these concerns that I have. I am sure that it can be frustrating for you as you read through many questions like mine. I know from my tests that I do not have an STD. My concern as you know was that I did; and was not aware of it; and then passed it to her before I was treated as a precaution and she now has an STD. The timing of her issues with my situation just seemed all to coincidental and that it must have come from what I did with the other girl.
Thank you for your time...you have been very helpful.

Thank you...I appreciate it. I am definately feeling guilty and this was the dumbest thing I have ever done. Enough to keep me grounded from this time forward. If you would indulge me on one last set of questions and I will try to to bother you further.
If you don"t mind, there are several sites that say Ghonnorea is transmitted orally from woman to man and then back to women from men. If I had that (throat culture negative-but had taken doxy a week or so before the culture) would the doxy have killed it, but I would have exposed my wife to that? If Chlamydia is not transferred orally, then why does everyone say it does and even the doctor at the health clinic I went too??? You are the expert I understand and that is why I posted this with some reluctance bacuse I wanted to hear from someone that really knows. If I was doing oral on her and then was fingering her, that is not a method of bacteria (std) in my mouth from getting unto her urinary tract or vagina and causing a problem? I ahve never had to worry about STD's and all this information and people's comments create mass confusion for me.
I did comment on my wife's symtems: Frequent urination, pain/stining (burning), low back pain, takes a few minutes to start, then stops, then starts again, feels bloated or retaining water and constipated. She does not know that there is a risk of an STD.
The Cipro does not seem to be helping and I am afraid that when they do the Urine culure that it will detect an STD or something that will result in further investigation that will uncover an STD and that will hit her like a ton a bricks and our marriage will be over. The one article I read about neg. nitrite result's and positive LE results being an STD was convincing. There is some much out there and it is so confusing and has me worried to death.
The one thing that I did not have room to write earlier was that my wife takes Enbrel. I have spoken to Enbrel and they said the antibiotics (Cipro/Zith) should still be affective, but for her not to take shot's until everything clears. Will these medications still be affective or will the Enbrel (non-taken after the antibiotics) keep the antibiotics from working?
If the UTI is not the one that clears with Cipro and you do nto believe it would be an STD, what other possibilities are there?
Sorry so long and I do sincerely appreciate your time and willingness to help people like me that get into these situations. Thank you...
