stupid and scared
I had unprotected sex last night for approximately 60 seconds. I was at a strip club and things got out of hand during a lap dance and I was too drunk to stop it. I am married and my wife would kill me if she found out. I have never had irresponsible sexual contact before. Is there anything I can do right now make sure I didnt contract an std. I have no reason to think that the girl had an std, but the uncertainty is killing me. Also what should I do to protect my wife until I know for sure?

There is no reason to test in 6 months for him. He can test now for gonorrhea, chlamydia and NGU. If he feels he must, he can test for HIV at 3 months, syphilis at 6 weeks, and herpes at 4 months, but the chances that he got any of those are slim. Most people don't have HIV, and its harder for a man to get it from a woman than the other way around, syphilis is uncommon and the chances of herpes from 60 seconds of sex is very very low.
When you worked for the surgeon, there was no need to test if you were using universal precautions and hadn't gotten stuck with a needle, etc.

Firstly, I would tell your wife. If uncertainty is killing you then I would imagine there is guilt lingering around there somewhere. That in itself could irreparably damage your marriage. Plus she deserves to know if she is at risk.
Secondly, I would talk with your Dr. about what happened and see if there are tests and medications available for you.
Thirdly, if I was in your position I wouldn't have sex with my spouse. There are some things that can hide for a while. I wouldn't just test once, in six months I would test again. I used to work for a surgeon and I would test every six months for blood borne pathogens and the like.

Well, 60 seconds is pretty brief. I suppose you could talk to your doctor about it and see if he'll give you some meds, but not all docs will do that.
You can test for gonorrhea and chlamydia at about 3-5 days after, and those are your most likely possibilities.
You can use condoms with your wife.
