My stupidity and Freaking out
I am a 37 year old white male, married with two children.
About a week ago I visited a "modeling studio" and used its services. The studio is in the Dallas Texas area and the model was also white and I would say she was at least my age, perhaps older. She said she had recently relocated from Florida.
I had a unlubricated Trojan condom on when the model entered the room and received a Blowjob from her.
Prior to sex I sprayed some alcohol (which she had brought into the room when she entered) on myself and removed the first condom and put on a new lubricated Trojan-enz. The condom was still all the way at the base of my penis when I pulled out, and seemed to be intact though I didn't spend any time checking it.
I have a pain in my urethra that I started to notice 2 days ago (6 days after event) and it has gotten more noticeable the past 2 days. I think I did everything necessary to protect myself but if I managed to get what could be NGU/Gonorrhea/chlamydia or whatever is causing this pain I am worried I may have had the chance to catch other things as well.
I visited my family doctor for a sinus infection yesterday and got prescribed 3 500 mg tabs of Azithromycin to take daily. I read that on single 1g dose of Azithromycin is being used as a treatment for the various forms of Urethritis so I doubled my first dose yesterday and figure this will cure what is causing that discomfort. As you can imagine the stress of "what if" is still freaking me out.
I visited a pro long ago (9 years?) before our children were born and admitted it. My wife forgave me and I apparently didn't remember all of the stress and misery it caused because I now did it again. I am confident if I admit it this time I will lose her and my children.
My questions
Is 6 days a reasonable time for a STD to start causing me discomfort?
Can you figure how I managed to be exposed and if so what were my exposure risks to something more serious like Herpes and HIV?
I am planning on getting tested for HIV in 5 more weeks which I understand to be good 95% of the time. Another 6 weeks after that I plan on getting tested again. I am not certain how long I can avoid sex without raising suspicion though. We don't have sex often, but 3 months is pushing it.
Thank you for your service, and hopefully this time I will learn my lesson and not make this mistake again

I went back to the clinic today for a re-screening. They didn't test me again but gave me 2 different antibiotics. I got a single dose of Cipro (unsure of dosage) which isn't supposed to be used for Gonorrhea anymore but I am willing to give anything a go now; I just want better. I was also given 4 Azithromycin tablets (2 grams total).
Throughout this ordeal I have never had any noticeable pus or drip discharge. My symptoms have remained as soreness on the right side of my groin particularly in the area of swollen inguinal lymph nodes, along with a stinging pain sometimes present near the tip of my urethra. The pain has never been present while urinating but sometimes got worse shortly afterwards. I have also felt the need to urinate often and more urgency. While on or under the effects of the antibiotics the pain/discomfort was gone or greatly reduced, but once they were up the pain came back.
I have been hypothesizing again and wanted your input AJ. Do false positives for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea ever happen? Do lab workers in busy metropolitan areas ever contaminate cultures? This is seeming to be more likely; as me still having a STD or even a typical UTI able to survive the number of powerful antibiotics I have taken in the past month does not.
It is hard to believe I caught something since I had a condom on as soon as the CSW entered the room. (5/21)
It is hard to believe that Chlamydia showed up in my culture since I had taken 1gram followed by 500mg of Azithromycin. (5/29, 5/30) prior to going to the clinic.
Now after being injected with Rocephin (6/20) and taking a full week of Doxycycline (6/20 through 6/26) the symptoms came back and the sting in my urethra may be worse.
My second question is what are the half lives of the Ciprofloxin and Azithromycin? How long will these be in my system?
Thank You,
Lane

You aren't being a PITA at all. You are being the voice of reason. Not only did the tests show positive for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea when I used a condom, they also showed after I took Azithromycin. It doesn't make sense.
I think I will give it the weekend and then decide if I want to go back to the clinic or perhaps face my General Practitioner. I am moving next month so chances are I won't have to see the man again, but then again that will stay in my medical records; that decides it; will hit the clinic again next week if this continues..
Thanks AJ !!

Your symptoms should be clearing up by now. You might experience a little residual pain, but new symptoms shouldn't be developing.
Not to discount your doctors, but I'm still struggling with you getting gonorrhea AND chlamydia in this way, and wonder if something else is going on. (I know - I'm a PITA.)
WTF - if he does have gonorrhea and chlamydia, this is RARE, ok?

Hi all,
I have my last Doxy pill left to take tonight yet I still have pain/tenderness on the right side of my groin. I also noticed a pinching/burning pain near the tip of my urethra developing the past 2 days.
How long after the Rocehpin and Doxy treatment should I expect symptoms to persist. I have read about false positive retests because the tests detect DNA and not the actual bacteria, so I don't want to run off and get retested right away; but I want to ensure I am cured before I have sex again.
