Welcome to the Forum. MedHelp’s software has deleted which ort of sex act you participated in but my sense is that it was receipt of oral sex. If that is the case, your risk is low.
1. Oral sex is an inefficient way to transmit STDs, including HIV. The quoted figure for HIV risk, if one has oral sex with an infected partner (statistically it is unlikely that your partner had HIV) is less than 1 in 10,000 and, in my estimation that is too high. Some experts state there is no risk at all from oral sex. Neither of us on this site have ever seen or reading the medical literature of a convincing instance in which HIV was passed by oral sex. I would not worry about HIV.
2. Of the bacterial STDs only gonorrhea and nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) are transmitted through oral sex; chlamydia is not and without an obvious sore or lesion on your partner’s mouth, the chances of syphilis and herpes is likewise tiny. If you had gotten gonorrhea or NGU you would have most likely developed symptoms of urethritis (penile infection). Even if your partner had an STD (any STD and it is likely he did not), most exposures do not lead to infection. I would urge you not to worry but at the same time, to be sure, testing for gonorrhea and NGU is reasonable at this time.
3. You can be tested for gonorrhea at any time more than 3 days after your exposure. If you decide to get HIV testing, I would wait until 6 weeks following your exposure for testing. Take care. EWH
Yes it would. I predict the tests will be negative. EWH
No, your cloudy urine is a nonspecific finding. It would not raise any particular concerns for me. EWH
They were. One less thing to worry about. Will be going for a shypilis test tomorrow or next week.
Thank you.
Just out of interest I tested via swab and urine sample for Cham & Gonn 7 days after my possible exposure. Would that be a sufficent time frame?
Dr Hook,
Thank you for teh prompt reply to my question. And for the insightful answers. You have helped me a greta deal and stopped me from freaking out! I did not notice any sores or lesions on the other guy, though can;t be sure.
I have an appointment @ an NHS GUM clinic tomorrow morning and will be providing a urine sample to test for gonorreha and Chlamydia. I'm now confident that this is just for peace of mind.
Does the instance of cloudy urine from my first urinination of the day this morning give you cause for concern at all? I've noticed that as the day has gone on and I have drunk fluids my urine is now crystal clear.
Again many thanks.
