Probability of infection?

[st00pidf00l]

I'm a gay guy who had an encounter with another guy a couple of days ago.  We had oral and protected anal sex (I was the top).  He ejaculated first while we were having anal sex.  Then I pulled out, took off the condom and he masturbated me to orgasm.  He had some of his own semen on his hand, and some of it likely rubbed off onto my penis and possibly into my urethra.

Within a day I had the urge to urinate but without any pain.  I did have a clear "discharge" of sorts this morning, but it occurred a few hours after I had masturbated.  This is not unusual for me, as my penis will often leak a bit of leftover prostate fluid several hours after masturbation.

I asked him about STDs and he said he tested negative a few months ago.  However I know some gay men are guilty of downplaying their sexual history because they don't want to be perceived as "sluts", even if they really are!  Therefore I'm not entirely trusting of this guy's sexual past.

Hypothetically, if he did have an STD such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, could my symptoms be a result of infection?  I'm not sure what level of risk I experienced with his semen-covered hand masturbating me, and the resulting likelihood of infection.  Then again, I am also open to the possibility that these symptoms are caused by STD anxiety, and not a real infection. I had a much bigger STD scare earlier in the year, and everything turned out fine.  I know full well how powerful the mind can be in manipulating one's physical reactions to stress.

I am a bit worried - not panicked, but enough so that I do plan on getting tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea. However, how long should I wait before testing?  Two days post-exposure seems a little too soon.

Thanks!

You have been well informed about stds and transmissions. I applaud you for that and I hope you do continue safe sex as well as being checked out from time to time.

Aelly, just to clarify, the oral sex was unprotected. I understand there is a low risk of transmission from that activity.  I was not clear on the risk associated with hand-to-genital contact with fluids.

My HIV and other STD scare from earlier in the year was from unprotected anal sex.  I learned my lesson that time, and unprotected anal sex is an absolute no-no for me in all cases - no exceptions!

I'm still getting tested, but I will strive to remain calm and rational.  Thanks for your feedback.

From looking at your post, you had a protected affair but I am not sure if you had protected oral sex as well? If you did not, there is a low possibility of you getting oral stds such as gonorrhea, syphilis, and herpes. Gonorrhea is common and without any sores, chancres, or blisters present, the likelihood of herpes and syphilis transmission is rather tiny. You really had no risk at all for anything at all since there was a condom used. Hand to genital transmission is no risk and it is a common occurrence during sex or mutual masturbation in with fluids are exchanged via hand to genital contact. It happens and nothing comes out of that activity. Testing for the two stds to get full conclusive results is about three to five days post exposure but I believe seven is the max.
