STDs risk

[Devin76]

I recently had a one-time casual encounter with an escort, the only one person that I have had sex other than my wife. Apart from the guilt, I am worried about the STDs that could have transmitted. Before the intercourse, skin contact/foreplay was minimal for 5 mins. We used a condom from the beginning of the intercourse to the end, and withdrew immediately after ejaculation. The intercourse may have lasted just over a minute. We did not kiss orally and did not have any oral sex. I do not know the status of the escort whether she has any STD. Its the 5th day since the encounter and have had no symptoms as I read online or probably its too early.

Please advice the best way forward.

i did a CBC and Ultrasound as a regular check up. the doctor said my reports were fully normal. even though i know CBCs cannot point out any STDs but will atleast tell something is wrong? am i right?

hi grace,

can you share the link to the journal?
thanks for the advice.

you were never at risk for anything that azithromycin would be effective for. don't take antibiotics needlessly!! Well worth reading my journal post on antibiotics published by the journal of infectious diseases :)

I took a dose of zithromax 1g to be on the safer side....

protected genital sex is a risk for herpes, hpv and syphilis. the risk is very low in general but it is still a risk.

if you are concerned, you can seek blood testing for syphilis after 6 weeks and type specific herpes igg blood testing 3 months post encounter. we don't have commercially available tests for hpv to cover that base properly.

Hi, you are not at risk for the STD's and 5 days is plenty of time for some symptoms to arise.
