What testing do I need
Hello...5 months ago I received protected oral sex at a massage parlor...I know this is essentially a zero risk for any std. The lady started rimming me as I was on my stomach and I asked her to stop. About 3 months later I began to have pains in my lower abdomen and in my groin. At 5 months I developed redness and some irritation at the urethra opening of my penis. Now my penis stings on and off during the day but not when I am urinating. I also have occasional pain in the perinium and a burning sensation in the anus. The pain in my penis seems to be getting worse as well as testicular pain. I had an HIV and Hep test after 3 months which came back negative for all. Should I be concerned about other stds? The timeline doesn't fit but the symptoms are there. No discharge So maybe syphillis or herpes in the urethra? Please tell what testing I need next. Could this be due to taking Keflex for a cold?

Cannonball - I'd wait until you are done all meds, see how you feel, and go from there. You really had a very low risk, if there was any at all, so take care of the URI and tinea first.
Dbernardo - If you had a high risk situation, then yes, you should. If you have further questions, start your own thread, please.

Let me rephrase...I took the Keflex for an Upper Resp. Infection...but the irritation had started before I started taking the Kelflex....The doctor also put me on an anitfungal pill for tinea spots on my body that I have had off and on for years...any advice?
I took an std test while on antibiotic's and everything came up negative does that mean I need to re-test?

Are you still on the keflex? First, that does NOTHING for a cold. A cold is a virus, and an antibiotic kills bacteria. Second, you need to wait 2 weeks following your last pill to test, as antibiotics can give you false negatives on the tests.
I'd follow up with your doctor sooner, though. You might be having a reaction to the keflex.
