Glad to help. Take care. EWH
I was not.
Thanks for the clarification and your help - and for providing such a valuable resource.
Cheers
Yes indeed, my answer was that your risk was zero. Perhaps youi are not aware that her insertion of her finger into your anus is masturbation- it is. EWH
Thanks Dr.
I was looking specifically for clarification on the risks associated with the lady inserting her fingers into herself, and then into my anus (not the masturbation which I understand to be zeroo) Are you saying that this risk is also close to zero? Its that point I am not clear on.
Thanks for clarifying that specific point
We can quibble about whther the risks from masturbation is zero or so close to zero to effectively be zero. Either way, there is not a medical reason to worry.
Yes, the antibitotics you received woud likely have cured any urethritis you had due to bacterial STDs. Azithromycin is the recommended therapy for NGU, chlamydia and is effective for much gonorrhea, if you did have it. Not sure what the other medication you had was but it would have only added to this. EWH
Thanks Dr Hook for responding - I appreciate the advice - and your reassurance is certainly helping me move on.
I understand that the risks for masturbation are very low if not zero - but what about the fingering herself and then me?
I also understand that the antibiotics would have cured anything I may have had - but these were taken post sex with my wife - hence something could be passed back to myself.
Can you comment on these two points please.
Many thanks
Welcome to the Forum. It sounds like you got good advice from both of your visits to the STD clinic. Receipt of masturbation and oral contact with your anus are not mechanisms for causing STDs. This includes that STDs would not be transmitted by transfer of an STD by a partner's hands. Furthermore, I suspect the antibiotics you got would have cured any STD that might be present, including Mycoplasma genitalium On the other hand, sometimes after an exposure that, in retrospect, one wishes they had not had, persons tend to examine themselves and be far more attuned to genital sensations than in periods when they are not concerned. This in turn leads to noticing what turn out to be normal sensations that might have been not noticed or ignored at other times. This may be a contributor to your situation.
In answer to your direct questions:
1. Penicillin could conceivably have effected your tests but this is rather unlikely. both because penicillin has little effect on common STD pathogens and it is unlikely you were infected. Even if you did have an STD, the combination of azithromycin and another STD would most likely have cured any STD you might have.
2. Tests for M. genitalium are variable in their accuracy. Further however, azithromycin is the recommended therapy for M.g.
3. See above. It is unlikely you acquired any STD from the encounter you described.
4. I see no reason to seek further care. If you do, you may get more antibiotics "just in case" which is rarely a good idea. It could be that you coincidentally acquired prostatitis but this is unlikely.
5. No.
6. I see no need for additional antibiotics
My advice, do your best to put this behind you. EWH
