This is more of a warning than anything else who has irrational fear about contracting any STDs. By the time, you find this message, most pepople have already done what I did; however, I am posting this in the hope of releaving someone who is going through the emotional pain, guilt, anxiety and suffering. After visiting this site, most of us recognize that receiving a simple handjob pose virtually ZERO STD risk to you. Drs assure us on that several messages. Here is my story. I am married with two beatiful kids. Over 12 years of marriage, I have taken everything for granted (marriage,wife,kids, decent job, decent house) and about 8 weeks ago, I visited a local massage parlor and received a hanjob. Three days later my penis started hurting and I also experienced major lower abdominal discomfort and that was when extreme guilt and anxiety consumed me for the next several weeks. I went to see my GP and received CL and GN tests after a week from the visit. It came back negative.
I surfed more information including CPPS almost everyday looking for clues. I suffered from frequent urination and visited urologist whose question was "Did you tell your wife about this?". He offered Hepatitis panel and syphyllis tests and that actually planted more fear in me because around this time, my groin started hurting. Both of the tests came back negative. 8 weeks later, I still was suffering from GAD and guilt and decided to take 8 panel test because I could not tolerate putting my wife at any kind of risk and everything inlcuding herpes and HIV came back negative. I finally see the end of the tunnel now but since this is the only way to contribute to this forum I decided to share my story. At the age of 41, I am still learning about myself that I have extremely low tolerance for stress when it comes to STD and for those of you who are wondering about massage parlor with a hanjob and found this message because there is no STD risk, think about the great psycological stress it may cause you as it did to me.
Retrospectively, this may have been one of the few ways for me to start appreciating what many of take for granted, "sexual health" or overall "mental health". I will have to figure out how to fix the CPPS-like symptom I still have but this is a small price to pay compare to losing everything I have built with my family and friends. I just want to say thank you Drs on this forum for providing knowledge that relieve so many people's mind. May god bless you.
