Last answer. The medications you recieved are the ones I suspected you received. You do not need to worry (although it appears that my telling you this does not seem to help).

Just to be sure I called the clinic to see exactly what they gave me. I was given a shot Ceftrixone (Rocephin), 1gm azithromycin and 2.4 mm in one dose of Benzathine Penicillian. Does the information you gave still stand? Is 48 hours still enough time to not be contagious when talking about gonerrha,NGU, syphilis and chlamydia?
48 hours is more than enough time to render you non-infectious following the treatment you received, if you needed treatment (which I doubt). EWH
Thank so much for the answers you provided. As a precaution I received preventative medicine at a local clinic. I was so flustered I did not ask the name of the medicines being given from doing some reading I assume I was given a shot of ceftriaxone for Gonorrhea and NGU and pills of azithromycin for Chlamydia (although you had stated that isnt a real possibility). If hypothetically I was infected how long after shot would I no longer be contagious and could continue to have sex with my gf. I have read in previous posts by Dr. HHH, that 48 hours is enough time and the 1 week time frame is over kill, but I dont know if he was referring to other antibiotic regiments
Based on your previous answer is it safe to assume testing for syphillis is also not medically needed?

withthe exposure you descirbe there is no medical need for HIV testing. EWH
So in this case an HIV test is not warranted?
Welcome to the Forum. the value of plastic wrap, as opposed to latex for STD prevention has not been studied. I agree that there is some logic to this but again, no data. Either way, the risk of STDs, including HIV from oral sex is low. Without protection, oral sex is an inefficient way to transmit STDs. 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 she did not), most exposures do not lead to infection. In your case, your exposure was protected (admittedly with unstudied material) and thus your risk should be quite low. I would urge you not to worry.
For protect in oral sex among women what are used are typically dental dams which are thin, flat pieces of latex, the same material that condoms are made from.
I hope this helps.EWH
