follow-up to an older question..

thanks in advance...
Just a follow-up...still no usual sypmptoms, no burning or sores after 4 1/2 weeks..there is some itching under the head of my penis and at the base. the base i think is form shaving for a vasectomy 7 weeks ago, the head i think may be from using rubbing alcohol to clean myself after the encounter. could it be something else? even though i was somewhat protected with the keflex, could i still have passed it on to my wife? can any std's be passed on through breast milk? my wife said she is starting to feel like her periods are about to start again cause she has the familiar discomfort "down there". but she is still breastfeeding. she shouldnt start yet should she? im a bit worried about this if she is feeling funny and no period comes. im getting tested friday to end any specualtion, but even if im negative, could i have transmitted while on the anti-biotic?
thanks

I don't recall your original question.  Nothing you describe sounds like an STD.  Cephalexin (Keflex) would have protected from acquiring or transmitting gonorrhea or syphilis, and would partially protect against chlamydia.  But your last sentence suggests you had negative tests--in which case no, there is no chance you could have transmitted anything to your wife.
