need to know something

is it possible to contract an std through a used condom, evan if it has dried out i know this is a weird question but im gay and my partner moved away and i geuss he had been cheating on me but n e ways before i knew that, i had used his old condom to masturbate with is it possible for an STD to survive inside of an dry condom?

just asking because theres a bump on my penis could this just be a normal infection, or could i possibly have an std?

if this matters it started out small then got bigger now its small but a clear white liquid came out kinda like puss or something please help me...

I'm sorry to hear that your bf cheated on you. But, i doubt it would be from a used condom, cuz std's need a warm place to survive. But if he was cheating on you, you probably got it from him, and to me that bump sounds like a STD that I heard about in health just a few weeks ago. Not sure wich one, but you should definatly have it checked out, just to be on the safe side.

I seriously doubt that the condom could have an active sexually transmitted virus or bacteria. it is possible that you already had an STD or you irritated yourself by using a dirty condom. When was your last STD test? You should go to the doctor and get the bump cultured and have an STD panel including HIV and Herpes.
