STD woes need advise
There really isnt a specific question but I need advise and information. I will try to be as brief as possible.
Back in November 08 my ex went to the doctor for a vaginal infection, got meds, and a lab wet smear. About 5 days later she told me the meds were not helping and she had to go back. The docs gave her different meds. Feb same issue again though we were broken up sorta speaking. I know I had sex with her about a week or two prior to her visit to the doctors office and I had sex with her in the first week of January. April 6th is when I had 2 female friends of hers tell me to get tested and one said she thinks she had Chlamydia, they said she had cheated on me with 3 other guys that they knew of. The dept of health would not test me for Chlamydia but gave me antibiotics, and they did a blood culture for HIV and Syphilis, neither of which have come back with results yet. I have no classic symptoms but I have had some issues starting about April 13th. I have had darker than usual urine (dark amber/yellow) even though I dont drink anything but water now and around that date I stopped drinking Jack Daniels and coke. My urine before was almost always clear or slightly yellow. I also have had very little sensation to urinate along with little feeling in my penis to the point where its almost impossible for me to obtain an erection. I have been able to get one but its not coming naturally like it used to, like my sex drive is completely gone and seems only to come on by force. I have had sex once with one of my ex's friends (the one who told me to get tested) unprotected even though I didnt know if I had anything yet and she knew that too, I thought maybe it was just mis-information but now about 10 days later she thinks something is amiss. She is seeing her obgn tomorrow to get checked out. I would just think that if someone was known to have an STD the doctors office would call to inform me. She went to the same office to get her prenatal screenings and ultrasounds and I was listed as her boyfriend/child's father in her records. Besides whatever STD she really had who knows the damage it has caused me since Nov or Jan and the possible damage to my relationship with my new partner.

I have been in 2 steady and long relationships so I have never had sex with anyone who either wasnt A. A virgin or B. been tested just when we started dating. My 3rd (new) partner was tested while she was with her ex partner for 5 years and Im the one who had a partner that had unprotected sex with 3 other guys so Im trying to make sure Im clean so she knows she is clean. That way we are both steady faithful partners that dont have to worry each other with STD's. The issue was before I got my results back and while I was on preventative antibiotics we had unprotected sex during a drunken moment of lust and since then once because by then it was more than likely too late.
1) No but STD's don't have to have symptoms associated with them.
2) I am not sure if the Dr's office does it or if the Health Dept does, but that is only if they are given the names of people to contact.

When entering into a new realtioship it is never a bad idea to have STD tests done. It ia also recommended to test for STD's every year when not in a steady relationship.
OK, Ill post some questions
1. Do the symptoms I describe lead to an STD infection?
2. Is it the doctors office responsibility to notify partners of STD's?
