Oral Gonerhea worries.

Hi,

Waaaay back in March I gave a sex worker (F) Oral for about 5 seconds. Since then I have taken maybe 4 or 5 oral swab tests which have all come back negative.

However, I took some antibiotics throughout all those tests which could have effected results.

Longest time was about 16 days from finish antibiotics and taking a test, again negative.

I in the last week have had bad headaches, more sinus related, fever chills an raise lymph nodes in jaw but no real sore throat. Maybe 2 red dots back of throat.

Should I worry?

Thanks guys.

We have covered this over and over.

You gave oral sex for a few seconds. You took antibiotics you probably didn't need at least once. I don't know what else you took antibiotics for, but you took doxy at least once that you didn't need.

Oral gonorrhea - or any other STD - doesn't give you cystic acne. At most, it would give you a sore throat.

Did it occur to you that perhaps you have covid? That's still a very real thing.

You need to let this go, or get to a period where you can get a test and see that you don't have it.

And get some counseling. Your fear of this is not at all in proportion to the risk you had.

Thanks Jessie I agree about the cystic acne that was a comment saying perhaps it's why I have felt run down and unwell. Perhaps I worded poorly.

But really your in agreement given the risk, and all the tests, including one where I waited at least the 16 days after a course of antibiotics I really should move on?

Many Thanks.
Yes, 16 days is fine after the antibiotics, especially as you had no risk.

You've tested 4 or 5 times - have they all been specifically for gonorrhea? You have seen 4 or 5 times that you do not have gonorrhea on paper?
Yes 4 maybe 5 tests since March 24th till May 27th.

All neg but again antibiotics may have interfered.
If you had one that was 16 days after taking antibiotics, it's accurate, though you had no risk to start with.

Lymph nodes have since gone down after 3 days if that helps.

If it helps, in the last 2 weeks have have had some deep cystic headed pimples on my nose and cheek which may cause the lymph node to swell and general unwellness? All in addition to a super stressful job and period on life.

Kind of on full meltdown that I have oral gon from my march encounter.
