This will be my last answer. If you have more questins, you must start a new thread. I would advice you however that your risk from the expsoure you describe is virtually zero and you need to move on.
1. Chalmydia is not transmitted by oral sex.
2. Yes but at this late date it is more likely the symptoms you are experiencing represent anxiety. Your tests will be negative.
3. Irrelavant question but yes, azithromycin woul dhave likely prevented her from getting infected if you were.
Take care. As I said, this thread is now over. eWH
One last question/issue (i thought my stress was from only syphillis):
Last night for about 4 hours i felt some slight on and off itchiness or irriation near my penis hole. This itchiness was not felt during urination. This is 3 months from my last encounter of protect oral sex on 6/12 or 6/19 (as i stated above 4 girls used their mouth to put on the condom). Because of this i got tested today for gon and chlam. The stress is kicking in again. Clinic did a urine test so i get my results next week Wendesday. Im fine today so i hoping the unpleasantness was from something else. I read that oral sex normally does not transmit Chlam. Is this true? But i also read on the internet that itchiness at the tip of the penis is a symptom of Chlam. Is this true? I have no other symptoms.
Last time i had sex with my wife was Saturday 9/12/09. She and two of our kids had azithromycn (Zithromax) for a sinus infection 2 weeks ago. She started the 5 day antibiodics on 9/10/09 and finished it on 9/14/09. So if i had cham or gon (praying i dont have either one) would the antibiodics prevent her from getting it since we had sex on 9/12/09? Is this anitbiotic the proper one to cure gon and chlam?
My final questions:
1. Is Chlamidya rare from receiving oral sex?
2. Is itchiness near the penis hole a common symptom of Chlamidya or Gonorrhea?
3. Would the Z-pack prevent my wife from getting chlam or gon and would it have cured it if she already had it? Again we had sex on the 3rd day of her 5 day Z-pack. Would i need to tell her she requires testing if i have chlam or gon?
Im killing myself with stress of the consequences (yep should have thought about this before doing this naughty stuff). Im praying i dont have chlam or gon.
Thanks in advance for your final response.
Yes, a negative syphilis test at 6 weeks would be conclusive. EWH
I was just curious about the gonorrhea and chlamydia going away on its own since some have no symptoms.
So Syphills testing at 6 weeks is like HIV at 3 months? Test are conclusive?
I have nothing more to say about your syphilis risk- you did not get syphilis from the exposure you describe. Your scab could have been from the trauma of masturbation or something else- it was not syphilis.
When we find gonorrhea we treat it. Thus there are no studies of how long it takes to go away on its own. If you are worried about gonorrhea (and there is no reason to be from theexposure you describe), get tested, don't try to wait it out. EWH
I got a couple follow up questions.
You mention syphillis cannot be spread by saliva, only direct skin contact. The scab was found on the top, very base of my penis so this part was not covered by the condom. So my base could have got in contact with her mouth/teeth.
Im still a little worried since symptoms i had (found healing scab on shaft of penis when rash was found on body) were accurate to syphillis. I dont think i ever had a scab on my penis before.
You mention testing after 6 weeks proves im negative. Is this 6 weeks proven similar to HIV testing at 3 months? Im just scared and want to move on and not worry about giving anything to my wife.
Last question: Does gonnorrhea and chlamydia go away on its own without treatment? If so how long does it take?
Thank you.
Yes your answers were very helpful to ease my stress. I was just killing myself with stress after finding the sore/scab on my penis after the rash. Plus searching the internet about syphillis indicated the rash comes out when the chancre is healing. So i was stressing out big time.
Now i am thinking i may have got tested to early or the test results were wrong.
Thank you very much.
Welcome to the Forum. I cannot say what the rash or rashes you describe are due to but there is no reason for you to worry about syphilis. Here are the reasons. Syphilis is transmitted by direct contact, not saliva. Thus if there was no direct contact during these exposures, there is no risk of syphilis. In addition, while the rash of secondary syphilis can take many appearances, the blood tests for syphilis are uniformly positive during this stage. Thus your negative blood tests, collected at the time at or after the rash was positive and more than 6 weeks following your last exposure confirm that you do not have syphilis.
In answer to your specific questions:
1. Yes
2. No, your timing was fine
3. Yes
4. No, no need for testing after the exposures you describe and certainly no need for further testing
5. No, no risk from receipt of masturbation
Hope these answers are helpful to you. You are in the clear. EWH

Sorry i would like to correct the dates above.
I visited my doctor on 8/6 and got a blood test on 8/7. On 8/8 i found the scab on the base of my penis. I got tested by the free clinic on 8/10 and got the negative result on 8/19.
Sorry for the screw up.
Thanks
