std?
I dont know what i have been experiencing, but i recently had an encounter with a male of un known status, he claims he is clean. We had protected sex, however he ejaculated in my mouth and i swallowed! since then i have had a sore throat. still mildly sore but now its turning into more of a cough... and i have a runny nose. Could i have contracted something??

A throat swab for something like gonorrhea or chlamydia will be. I think your soar throat is just that and nothing more.
thank you very much, i really appreciate it!! but His penise never was in my mouth he just ejaculated in my mouth. Although now that i remember the tip of my tounge did touch the head of his penise for like a second which im sure doesnt matter, there was still contact right? my sore throat is progressively going away then i wake up and its really sore again. i also have this runny nose and when i blow its green, sort of like a sinus infection. then i also have a dry cough going on. I have an appt at the clinic on the 9th. This sunday will have been a week since the incident do you think the results will be accurate?
Semen is a bodily fluid let me correct my self. the chances of catching anything from swallowing semen is very slim. To put it in simpler terms, your saliva is a protecting coating to semen not 100% but very strong.. Also, your stomach acids can kill most bacterias. I wouldnt worry about you getting a STD this way, it is rare. you wont be the first and definately you wont be the last.
are you sure though, i've read with the exchange of any bodily fluids you can contract just about anything?? would u be worried? idk why i have a sore throat now!

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
The sort of good news is that swallowing your partner's semen will not put you at any greater risk for catching an STD. The flip side is that if your partner does have an STD, by the time you've had unprotected oral sex with them, whether you swallow or not, you've been exposed to whatever they're carrying.
Having unprotected oral sex (giving a oral sex without a condom) is a below average risk. Some of the disease that can be transmitted through oral sex if your partner is infected include herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. The risk of HIV transmission through oral sex is still undetermined. Some experts say there is little to no risk of getting HIV through oral sex, while some say there is possible risk, especially if there are cuts or sores in the mouth of the person performing oral sex. This is still undetermined, logically speaking if this were really true wouldnt there be a millione of more people infected?
Because most of the STDs mentioned are transmitted through contact with sores or lesions on the genitals, or are present in the pre-ejaculate fluid (precum), a person performing unprotected oral sex on an infected partner has already been exposed even before their partner ejaculates. If your partner semen in your mouth, you may be exposed to additional quantities of STD pathogens in the semen, which can infect you through the mucous membranes in your mouth and throat or through small cuts or scrapes on the inside of the mouth.
However, if you've already gone that far, swallowing the semen isn't going to put you at much additional risk. If anything, once the semen is in your mouth, swallowing may be the quickest way to get rid of it. Once you've swallowed, your digestive Enzymes and acids will probably destroy any germs in the semen, and your stomach and intestines are not vulnerable to infection by STDs.
If your partner has semen in your mouth and you are concerned about STDs, you can minimize your risk by either quickly spitting or swallowing. The point is just to get the semen out of your mouth quickly one way or another. Then whether you've spit or swallowed, gargle and rinse your mouth thoroughly with a 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution (the type available in drug stores for first aid). This will kill any germs in your mouth and throat and wash them out of cuts in the mucous membranes.
I hope this answers your question. GL,,and remember always use condoms.
