STD
Hi Doc,
Recently I had unprotected sex with a few escorts in China. When I got back, I experienced pain when urinating after a week from the trip. The pain got away after around a week. And now after 3 weeks from the trip, I got sore eyes on my right eye and a bit swollen on my lower eye lid. The sore eyes got better after applying eye drops but came back again. Does that point to the fact that I have contracted STD?

you had unprotected sex so you should follow up on it with proper testing.
you can get tested now for chlamydia, gonorrhea and ngu. you need to wait at least 3 more weeks for syphilis testing and wait until 3 months post encounter for hiv, hepatitis and herpes testing.
see your regular provider for your eye symptoms promptly.
