STD worries after Protected sex with diff partners.

[AJkris]

Hello everyone! I'm a 30yr old male, and I really feel guilty writing about this but I was on a work trip for the past few weeks and ended up meeting a couple of escorts (at diff times). In both cases I did have protected vaginal sex, had unprotected oral sex with the first one. Now that I'm back I have some itches on my body, and in the groin area (no rashes though). I went To my dermatologist who quickly looked and said it's normal itching and gave an antifungal.

I tested for std a few months ago and everything came back negative/non-reactive. Now my concern is are any of the current symptoms, itching body/groin, cough cold, etc a sign of a bigger problem?

I'm going to get tested for sure but want to know how soon should I get the first round of tests and maybe a retest if necessary. Also what are the chances of contracting STD in the above acts? Both the escorts claim they are disease free (I dint see any visible blisters or sores on their face or genitals but again it's never 100% sure).

Any advise or guidance would be highly appreciated, this forum has been an eye opener for me :)

We are happy to chat with your about your situation but it would be best to have a doc check you out. Only testing would confirm what your symptoms are.

Hey Dave! Yes I do plan on meeting my PCP to get checked but my main concern or question is if these symptoms are indicative of potential std. I did a test 3 days after the last possible exposure and everything came clean. I know a repeat around 6weeks and 3months is needed but want to ask about these symptoms and if they're relevant to std. thanks and sorry again to keep dragging.!

Any thoughts? I've been having a severe cough and cold followed by itching in my groin and noticed some red spots on my chest and forehead.

It's now been more than a week since I had the last intercourse with an escort and I've been having severe flu like symptoms. Should I be worried? Im mainly concerned with many posts online about relating these symptoms (sever cold cough sore throat) with HIV and other STD.

They are place specific so would be in the genital area

The itching is not an std symptom but painful blisters sores are.

Ok I don't seem to have any on my genitals. Shd I be worried if they show up in other parts of the body? I seem to have developed like a small wart above my lips. But it's not painful. I have a history of warts on my neck which has been spreading a bit cos of shaving. Don't know if they're the same or something else. Sorry to keep dragging with questions :(

Thank you Dave! I have a regular partner and will get the tests. So you think I don't need to get tested for the other ones? I'm super worried about the incurable ones. Also I get itches on my genitals at random and some of the websites are saying like literally any symptom that maybe see could be indicative of STD.

Thoughts Anyone?

Hi as you most likely read already both are low risk but if you have a long term partner test for the below at the correct window period. None of what your mentioning are not std symptoms.
Gono from the oral at 7 days
syphilis----6 weeks
herpes--- 3 months
