Should I get tested?
Hello,
During the last couple of days I have had a burning sensation when I pee, it could be due to the fact that I am not drinking much water and it is really hot. If I drink adequate amount water the burning sensation is not present. Now to my sexual encounters, I have had vaginal intercourse with a couple of different partners. In all of the encounters a condom was used which stayed intact throughout the intercourse. Does that put me at risk for any STDs? If so, which ones should I get tested for?
The only risky encounter that comes to mind is unprotected oral sex. What STDs can be transmitted through this method? I might be worrying too much here.
Thank you.

Last post before I move on. I just received an email confirmation for my appointment and it is for October 1st with my primary physician. Should I go to the urgent care tomorrow and get tested regardless? Would I be jeopardizing my health in any manner by waiting a week?
Since yesterday I have had no burning sensation during urination. My penis is free of any blemishes. Should I still keep my appointment and get tested on Monday? How long is the burning sensation present if it is related to an STD?
syphilis, herpes and hpv are the 3 main std risks from condom use.
you can contract those along with chlamydia, gonorrhea and ngu from unprotected oral sex.
stop back and let us know how your appointment went :)
yes, most of the testing will be urine testing.
if you have a fear of having blood drawn, ask them to prescribe a numbing cream for you to use so that it won't be painful.

What is the risk of contracting any STD if a condom was properly used? Also - what STDs are still transmitted if a condom is properly used? As for the symptom I described earlier - Does it mean anything if the burning sensation is gone today? I have been drinking a lot of water (half gallon within 3 hours).
I have made an appointment for Monday to get tested for general STDs. Are most tests done through urine? The only reason I ask is that I have a fear of blood tests.

Oral sex is a much lower risk for many STDs than vaginal sex.
It could be that you just have a normal coincidental urinary tract infection at this time, but you are putting two and two together. You are at a small risk of getting herpes infection orally and some other infections.
It is worthwhile having a standard STD screen and urinary analysis at your family doctor to look for UTI.
Sometimes these things are put down to non-specific uritritiis.

you should be seen and have some basic testing done to try to figure out what is going on.
