This question could (and should) have been asked as a follow-up comment in yesterday's thread, at no cost.
As we discussed thee, you had a low risk exposure, wiqth little chance of catching any STD. Very brief replies:
1) No risk with a condom -- and for this exposure, no risk even without one.
2) Almost no herpes risk, but not qute zero risk.
3) You don't need herpes testing. But it's your money. If you insist, you need to wait 3 months before having a blood test.
4) Anxious people like you usually notice herpes blisters or sores, but some infections cause no symptoms. Tingling alone is not a herpes symptom.
5) No HIV test is needed. But again, its your money. If positive, it won't be from this exposure. You're not going to be the world's first person to cTh HIV from such an exposure.
Please accept the reassurance you have h
Excuse the abrupt ending. Accept the reassurance and the reality that exposres like you describe do not risk STDs. Also note the MedHelp rule that permits a maximum or 2 questions on the professionally moderated forums.

Sorry about not putting the post on the other thread.
I will try to take deep breaths, hope you are right, and thank you for the service you provide.
Trust me, I'm right. You're welcome.
Well, I took 1 gram of Azithromycin on Thursday night and had protected sex with my girlfriend Saturday night. Still waiting on my test results. Do you think there is any risk to have spread chlamydia/ gonnoreah to her after taking the anti-biotics?
I know I am anxiois, so I suppose I notice things that may not be symptoms, but could I experience chlamydia symptoms after taking the anti-biotics? I noticed a pain in my urethra a day after taking the meds. No pain with urination or discharge. Just the slight pain in the urethra and the tingling in my left testicle.
I apologize for the additional question but I did keep it on this thread at least:)
Thanks again...
No risk to spread to your partner.
