Likelihood of getting trich from a broken condom

I am a male and had an outside of marriage sexual experience with a woman that believes she is free of any STD's...But not confirmed tests.

I used a condom but it broke.  I believe I was only exposed for a  couple of minutes at max.  I got  tested for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia as well as herpes..all negative.  Is there a big risk of being exposed to Trich.  I have had some increased urge to urinate since then, but nothing else....I also spent a lot time inspecting things so it could be all in my mind.  

Would like your thoughts / opinion.

you can find all sorts of things to worry about when you are in crotch watch mode :(  Sometimes just putting the lil guy away, turning off the computer and keeping yourself busy helps a lot.

took me forever to convince my daughter and her friends to stay off of symptom checkers online. told them most times a head ache is just a headache, not a brain tumor or west nile....lol.  they were diagnosing each other with all sorts of things and keeping me entertained and frustrated all at the same time :)  thank goodness for clairol !

Thanks..I agree with putting the PC away...It's a great tool sometimes, but there is so much conflicting info and always seems to be extreme ends types of info so it naturally causes the worry..It's good to just talk it out with others with some education about it...

Thanks again...

Thanks Grace......I was thinking the same thing....Just been having the weird feeling something's not right.  Weird sensations I don't remember having before all this.  But I also realize it could all be in my head.  I am sure a lot of it is guilt / remorse and caused by the constant "crotch watch" as you call it.  Sounds like you think it's all in the head too or from the constant handling during "Crotch watch"  and no need to worry about Trich?  It would be the only other thing I could possibly think of at this point.

I read your post on the urology forum since it was more recent than your last posts here.

your current symptoms don't sound really worrisome at all. I wouldn't bother with any more testing from the encounter in question.  It' s been I think 4 months now right? time to move forward from the encounter , call off the crotch watch and get back to living life to the fullest  :)
