Possible infection

Dear doctor,

I had protected sex with an escort about two weeks ago. Nothing was done unprotected. However, about 4 days later I started feeling a burning and itching sensation on the inside and tip of my penis. I immediately went to a urologist who told me that he doesnt think its an STD and I have nothing to worry about, he only prescribed Tavanic for me. I told him that I have a partner (the escort was a stupid thing) and asked whether I should refrain from having sex with my partner. He said no, as long as I take one of the Tavanics, we can proceed as usual. Problem is the feeling is still there. there is no discharge, but the penis is a bit tacky. I have also had chlamydia before, same symptoms, and I contracted it although I used a condom. I have now gone to another doctor whose view is also that it is likely not an STD, but maybe inflammation due to the condom. He also gave me Diflucan. I have in the past eperienced a reactino to condoms, but that was almost immediately, not four days after sex. How can the allergic reaction / inflammation start so late?

Do I have anything to worry about? As I said I contracted chlamydia before even with the use of a condom and I have had a reaction to condoms before, but not 4 days after, sounds more akin to an STD to me. What should I do next?

Please help.

Thanks.

Thanks Vance2335. I have also been told that if the condom did not break I should be ok, although as I said from personal experience I have learnt that condoms decrease the risk and does not take it away completely. I contracted Chlamydia before although I correctly used a condom.

Well you can always test for an STD if you want but if the condom did not break I don't see a real chance for an STD.
