Thanks for all of your advice on this thread. Got my results back. All are negative, as I was informed and should have believed. Took two different urinalysis tests, with one following precise directions (first urination of day/midstream). Blood work was also negative for HSV and HIV, however will follow up for HIV at doctors order (fully aware the odds are just about zero). Know way to know about HPV, but have not noticed any signs and just have to hope that nothing was passed from this brief encounter.
Throughout the past month and a half, I wished I could have let my mind relax but know ho difficult it is to do so. I feel for anyone who was in the same situation as myself. I have learned a horrible lesson from a huge lapse in my judgement. I have chosen to seek counseling services and will do my best to be a better husband to my wife.
If the tests come back positive who is to say your wife didn't give it to you?
great, but if the test comes back positive??? then of course, my charade ends and the harsh reality of my actions will have to come out.
testing for Trich in men is more difficult then woman but you never had a risk for it. So believe the test.
thanks. your comments have settled my gut...at least for now.
I had a test for trich the other day and results should be ready by friday. do you know if the tests for trich in men are accurate. a false negative or a negative i cannot trust would not be very reassuring.
You did not give her Trich, no matter what you read it would not just hand on like you have said.
Anxiety and guilt does a number on everyone. Telling her is your choice and does not mean that the marriage is over, but it could depending on her.
thanks Vance, but I have read multiple things about this on the internet. one stated that trich transmission was somewhat of a mystery. i am unsure if the parasite could have remained on my genitals until my wife and i had sex later in the day. i am just so confused.
i love my wife and am unaware how i could have made such a mistake (god i am so weak). telling her would certainly destroy our marriage and my life. so i am unsure if i should hold off until and wait to see what her doctor says or inform her and plan my departure and new life :(
Also you can not get Trich from protected sex.
She would have to be seen by a Dr.
well here goes again. my problems have seemed to dissipate (tingling and irritation in tip of penis is gone). but my wife continues to itch at night during her sleep. I also noticed that her vagina has taken on a different odor the past two nights. The other night I went down on her and awoke with a sore throat and diarhea.
I did have tests performed and chlamydia, gonnorhea and syphillis all came back negative. However I am living in fear that I contracted trichonomas and have now passed it on to her. I am sitting and waiting until she goes to a clinic to get it looked at. She has not mentioned anything about that, but I am sure it is inevitable. Is there anyway to check if this is trich or BV from home or do I have to wait until she is seen by a professional? thanks
hi. currently my wife is getting very irritated in her vaginal area and we believe it is a yeast infection. i don't know and am not sure what to say to her. i cannot sleep very well and wish i knew some way of telling her what i have done. probably will in the morning.
probably anxiety related more than anything. if it continues, see your provider monday.

i have started to notice a tingling pain in my urethra. it is minor and seems to be noticeable at night or early morning. is this a symptom or am i just looking for one? i am more and more unsure of what i should do regarding being tested...
thanks for the response and reassurance. guilty feelings are overwhelming and are perhaps causing my anxiety over infecting her with something. i am so sorry for what i have done, but fear informing her will ruin what has been an amazing marriage. this has led me to the deep hole i am currently in. thanks again for the advice.
you had protected sex. no need for a std screening from your escort visit. You've also had no symptoms. don't confuse guilt with risk.
your wife has been on hormones and had procedures done recently. odds are her symptoms are not std related at all but she needs to follow up on them with her gyn, not self treat.
