Protected oral gone wrong!

Mid 30's male here 2 weeks ago exactly I received protected oral from a stranger. There was no other contact other than 2 light kisses on my scrotum.
Condom did not seem to break or anything. Towards the end I removed it and finished with my hand no further contact was made.  5 minutes later I cleaned up with a wipe and went about my day.

Starting the next day I had groin pain and felt feverish. Day 2 groin pain leg pain and testicle pain. I took one dose of cipro but no more out of fear that it would mess up test results. Day 3 I had a urinalysis and std test all neg. ( Worthless I know)

I went and took another std test 7 days post exposure and was prescribed doxycycline in the meantime. Those results were negative.

I do suffer from prostatitis and occasional testicle pain and urethra burning for the past year but have been cleared by multiple std test, cultures, and microgendx testing no infections found. So it makes it hard to know if it's new, a flare up or what.

I've avoided sexual contact with my wife out of fear but given the low risk, and negative tests can I put this behind me. I'm terrified somehow I was infected masturbating and maybe saliva got in my urethra or maybe some was on my boxers and infected me.

Please help!!

You've tested negative, and no STD would give you symptoms that quickly. Symptoms wouldn't appear until 2 days at the minimum, often not for several days.

It sounds like a flare of prostatitis, not an STD infection. You know your risk for an STD was minimal, at best.

There's no risk from saliva on boxers - there's too much exposure to air, fabric, time, movement, etc., for anything to be able to effectively get into your urethra. Anything your partner may have had would have degraded enough to not be able to infect.

I can't imagine that there would be enough saliva on your hands to cause any issue just from removing the condom.

Also, STDs really reside in the throat, not just in saliva. To get an STD from oral sex, it's much more efficient to be exposed to the throat than saliva. I wouldn't worry about that at all here.

I do hope you feel better soon, though. Maybe make an appt with your urologist.

Hi, you had zero risk using the condom and the kissing would not be an issue from what you describe,  as no std shows symptoms the next day. It would appear more anxiety from infecting your wife with something.

Thanks for the answers, I'm supposed to have a follow-up in two weeks. My doctor has already said we'll either go with a pelvic floor therapist or a urologist. She thinks it's low risk

I've been wracking my brain over this,I contacted the person and asked if they bit a hole in the condom (crazy I know) only because they really wanted me to not use one they said no. And 10 days after the event they took a oraquick HIV test in front of me and I read the results but with the window period I'm not holding out too much hope.

Can I trust my test results?

This has happened to me before ( unprotected oral years ago) all tests negative but it was cured with antibiotics.

I've been having neck and groin pains and some sinus drainage. I'm planning on getting a rna this week.

Thank you so much I feel a little reassured, I won't post anymore unless something happens.

When a condom breaks, it's catastrophic. If the person you were with bit a hole in it, it would have been absolutely noticeable by you.

You can trust the results. You don't need an RNA test.
